The Conclave will hang out the broom.

A song Mr.______ of ______ College, Oxford, Who being catched in a Frolic on the 5th of Nov, at night, had it imposed as a task to write something on that day.

SOME twelve months ago, An hundred or so, The Pope went to visit the Devil; And as you will find, Old Nick to a friend Can behave himself wondrous civil.

Then strait quoth the Seer, What the de'el brought you here? 'Twas certain, some whimsical maggot; Come, draw to a chair, Nay, prithee, sit near, Here, sirrah, lay on t'other faggot.

You're welcome to H-ll, I hope friends are well At Paris, Madrid and at Rome: I suppose honest Pope, Since now you elope, The Conclave will hang out the broom.
