And all the Oliverians,
Lets down with 'em, down with 'em

All at the Queens Command,
And Fight all those that do oppose the
Right Heirs to the Crown,

And now my Song I'll end,
God prosper every Friend,
Who loves the Queen & Rightful Heirs,

And all the Oliverians,
Let's down with 'em, down with 'em
down, down, down:
