A TORY in a Whigs Coat:
A New English BALLAD,
To an Old Scotch Tune, Up with Ayley, etc.
|
[1]
|
WHat! still ye Whigs uneasie!
|
Will nothing cool your Brain,
|
Unless Great Charles, to please- ye,
|
Will let ye drive his Wain?
|
Then up with Pr--- and O---,
|
And up with Knaves a pair;
|
But down with him that Votes
|
Against a Lawful Heir.
|
[2]
|
Your Grievance is removd,
|
Old Staffords made a Saint,
|
Though you but little provd,
|
The Karle away is sent.
|
Then up with all your spight,
|
And shew us what you mean;
|
I fear me, by this Light,
|
Ye long to vent your Spleen.
|
[3]
|
That Peerless House of Commons,
|
So zealous for the Lord,
|
Meant (piously) with some ons
|
To flesh the Godlys Sword:
|
Then up with au the Leaven,
|
With each Dissenting Loon,
|
Then up with Bully Stephen;
|
But Colledge is gone doon.
|
[4]
|
What woud those Loons have had?
|
What makes em still to mutter?
|
I think thyre au gone mad,
|
They keep so muckle clutter:
|
Then up with P------ and S---,
|
Another Blessed Pair;
|
And up with ery Brute;
|
But chiefly Goathams Mayor.
|
[5]
|
Our Salamanca-Priest
|
Has left his Flock in hast;
|
And shrewdly is he mist;
|
Which makes us all agast:
|
Then up with Lads of worth,
|
With Baldwin, Vile and Care;
|
For these must now hold forth,
|
And Dick shall nose a Prayr.
|
[6]
|
But is awr Parson gone;
|
And whither gone I trow?
|
What, back agen to Spain?
|
Geud Faith en let him go:
|
Then up with blundering S.
|
The Tories Plague, I trow;
|
Tis he our Cause must bless
|
With Characters, and so.---
|
[7]
|
But scurvy Heraclitus,
|
And Roger too, is rude,
|
And Nat, who plagues poor Titus,
|
Which makes us chew the Cud:
|
Then up with Associations,
|
Remonstrances and Libels;
|
Tis these must save Three Nations,
|
And will preserve our Bibles.
|
[8]
|
The Polish Fox does seem
|
To sleep his time away;
|
But his pernicious Dream
|
Is (only) to Betray:
|
Then up with How. the Mole,
|
And many more that be;
|
But up with Little Pole
|
Upon the highest Tree.
|
[9]
|
Hieraclitus is a Debtor,
|
To some within the City,
|
Who sent him sike a Letter,
|
Hel pay them in a Ditty:
|
Then up with au Dissenters,
|
Up with em in a Cart:
|
And up with him that ventures
|
His Majesty to thwart.
|
[10]
|
But now Great YORK is come,
|
(Whom Heaven still be with)
|
Youll find (both all and some)
|
Twas ill to shew your Teeth:
|
Then up with ery Round-head,
|
And ery Factious Brother,
|
Youre Luck is now confounded,
|
Ye au must up together.
