A
NEW SONG,
BEING THE
TORIES TRYUMPH,
OR, THE
Point well Weathered:
To a New Theatre Tune.

I.
SOme say, the Papists had a Plot,
Against the Church and Crown;
But be it so, or be it not,
The King must please the Town.
The Papists take Tybourn by turns,
To please the City-Gulls;
Its strange, that they, who all wear Horns,
Should fear the Popish Bulls,

II.
The House of Commons blow the Coals,
The Nation to dissettle;
And, like true Tinkers, make two Holes,
To mend one in a Kettle:
Or else, What needs that precious Vote,
That if the King should Fall
By Pagan, or Phanatick Plot,
The Pope must pay for all?

III.
Our Royal James of Princely Race,
And High Illustrious Fame,
Was not thought fit, by Commons base,
To follow Charless Waine:
But let that House of Office know,
When they have Sowd their Leaven,
He shall Succeed, though they say no,
By all the Laws of Heaven.

IV.
Old Cavaliers for Loyalty
They streight Clapt up for Treason,
In hopes to bring in Anarchy,
Gainst Justice, Sense, and Reason.
Brave Hallifax and Feversham,
Brave Worster, Just and Wise,
They did Vote down, as dangerous Men,
That they Themselves might Rise.

V.
But Oh! that Lord in Leistershire,
Turnd Catchpole, though too Late;
Tis better Priests in Prison were,
Then Bums should loose their Trade:
For Priest poor Waller never sought,
But where was Golden Crosses;
His Mirmidons went Snacks, tis Thought,
In all the Owners Losses.

VI.
The Doctor he has bid Farewell
To Jesus, and the Court;
And Tonys Tap runs flat and dull,
Makes Catch in hopes of Sport.
Bleu Protestants can make no work,
Unless like Hungary,
They for Religion Joyn the Turk,
For Christian Liberty.
