Loyalty Triumphant;
OR,
A Looking-Glass for Deceivers.
Detracting Whigs, come here and take a view,
For what is pend, is no more strange than true.
Tune of, Let the Critticks adore.

LEt the Whigs ner adore
Their old Grandees no more,
theyr out-done, Sirs!
North and Rich are sworn in,
Who care not a pin
for ner a one, Sirs!
What these Rascals can do,
Since theres a Lord Mayor too
wont be won, Sirs!

To do ought that is ill
gainst the Church or the Crown;
Or to wink at their Meetings,
but will pull them all down:
Oh! the Whigs are stark mad at
these Sherriffs and new Mayor;
And swear they could be glad that
their Walloons were there.

O ye Whigs now lament,
For youl find the event
of your Treason;
Since the Kings full awake,
He will make your hearts ake,
all but reason;
That such Rake-hells as you,
Give the Devil his due,
in this season,

For protecting your Peer, by
your damnd Ignoramus;

For packing such Sheriffs, and
such Juries to shamm us;
For laying together
your seditious pates,
That will never look well,
till on the City-Gates.

To prevent such sad end,
Be advizd by a Friend,
tack about, Sirs!
And be not ashamd
To wish those Rogues damnd
of the Rout, Sirs!
That wont out with their Chinck,
The Kings Health to drink,
sure theyr out, Sirs!

For if the Kings life
had not preservd been,
Such Traytors as these
would surely have seen,
A King justly rigid,
or damnd Common-wealth;
That would make them all wish
they had drank the Kings Health.


FINIS.
Printed for W. Giles, 1682.
