Monmouths Return;
OR,
The Mistaken WHIGGS.
Tune of, Tell me Jenny, etc.

I.
NOw the Rash Imputing Torys,
which so long have raild at Jemmy;
Soon recant your idle Storys,
hes the Man that must Redeem ye
All your Joys,
Therefore Boys,
cry Huzza with Hoop and Hollow;
Beat the Drum,
Jemmys come,
a Warlike Mars, and Wise Apollo.

II.
Jemmy now the Whiggs has bubbled,
his design was thus to sham em;
Let all Loyal joys be doubled,
but for Whiggs, the Devil Dam em:
Jemmy went
With intent
to their Damnd Association;
But to find
Where the Wind,
sat against the tottering Nation.

III.
For Young Jemmy who endured
has so long the Kings displeasure;
Humbly now returns assured,
to regain his love by leasure;
Which when he,
On his Knee,
did Intreat, or once Demand too;
The King did soon,
Grant his Boon,
and sufferd him to kiss his Hand too.

IV.
Let the Circumvented Rumpers
perish, whilst the Loyal Tory,
Briskly does Carrouse his Bumpers,
to Young Jemmys Health and Glory:
Fill the Glass,
Let it pass
fairly round from one to t other;
Let him dye,
That wont cry,
God bless the King, his Son, and Brother.

V.
Now the double-minded Trimmers,
moulded up of Whigg and Tory;
Pitch your Anchor in full Brimmers,
now the Case is plain before ye:
Leave the Whiggs,
Dam those Priggs,
let Whiggery the worst of Sin be;
Let no part
Possess your heart,
if you do the Devils in ye.

VI.
York and Monmouth now are Friends too,
Love and Loyalty possess em;
You that to the same pretends to,
never cease to cry God bless em:
Ery Lad,
Shall be glad,
let us make the World to Ring Boys,
May he Rot,
That will not
pledge this Health, God Bless the King, Boys.


FINIS.
Printed for C. Corbet, at the Oxford-Arms, in Warwick-Lane. 1683.
