I thought this song was about 'bloody' Mary Tudor and her husband Philip II of Spain. She was a crazy Catholic, burning Protestants left right and centre, hence all the references to doing Jesus's bidding. Philip married her for the English crown and spent most of their marriage in Spain. However, poor Mary was deeply in love with him and all Philip's distaste towards her made her understandably very upset: therefore refusing to cry over him, reprimanding love, etc.

Probably the most correct, literal interpretations of the song. I agree to this response.
