THE
Western Rebel;
OR, THE
True Protestant Standard set up.
To the Tune of, Packingtons Pound.
|
I.
|
SEE the Vizors pulld off, and the Zelots are Arming,
|
For our old Egypt-Plagues the Whig Locusts all Swarming.
|
The true Protestant Perkin, in Lightning has spoke,
|
And begins in a Flash to vanish in Smoke:
|
Little Jemmys lanchd ore
|
From the old Holland Shore,
|
Where Shaftsbury marcht to the Devil before.
|
The Old Games a beginning; for High-Shoes & Clowns
|
Are turning State-Tinkers for mending of Crowns.
|
II.
|
Let his Desperate Frenzy to ruine spur on;
|
The Rebel too late, and the Madman too soon.
|
But politick Noddles without Wit or Reason,
|
When empty of Brains have the more room for Treason.
|
Ambition bewitches,
|
Through Bogs and through Ditches,
|
Like a Will with a Wisp: For the Bastard Blood itches:
|
And the Bully sets up, with his High-Shoes and Clowns,
|
A True Protestant Tinker for mending of Crowns.
|
III.
|
Let him banter Religion, that old Stale pretence,
|
For Traytors to mount on the Neck of their Prince.
|
But Clamor and Nonsence no longer shall fright us,
|
Our Wits are restored by the flogging of Titus.
|
Their Canting Delusion,
|
And Bills of Exclusion,
|
No longer shall sham the mad World to Confusion.
|
The Old Cheats too gross, & no more Bores & Clowns
|
For perching on Thrones, and prophaning of Crowns.
|
IV.
|
So the Great Murderd Charles, our Church, Freedo[m] and Law[s]
|
Were all Martyrs of old, to the Sanctified Cause.
|
Whilst Gospel and Heavn were the popular Name,
|
The Firebrands of Hell were all light from that Flam[e]
|
Reformation once tuned,
|
Let Religion but sound,
|
When that Kirk Bagpipe plays all the Devils Danc[e] roun[d]
|
But the Whining Tub Cheat shall no longer go down:
|
No more Kings on Scaffolds, and Slaves on a Throne.
|
V.
|
Let his hot-braind Ambition, with his Renegade Loon[s]
|
Mount the Son of the People, for Lord of Three Crown[s]
|
The Impostor on one hand, and Traytor on tother,
|
Set up his false Title, as crackt as his Mother.
|
But whilst Peacock-proud,
|
He struts and talks loud,
|
The Head of the Rabble, and Idol oth Crowd;
|
From his false borrowd Plumes, & his hopes of a Crow[n]
|
To his black Feet below, let th Aspirer look down.
|
VI.
|
Then let him march on with his Politick Poll,
|
To perch up his Head by old Bradshaw and Noll:
|
Whilst the Desperate Jehu is driving headlong,
|
To visit the Reliques of Tommy Armstrong.
|
For theres Vengeance a working,
|
To give him a Jerking,
|
And humble the Pride of the poor little Perkin.
|
Great JAMES his dread Thunder shall th Idol pull dow[n]
|
Whilst our Hands, Hearts, and Swords are all true to t[he] Crow[n]
|
|
