Joy and Tryumph,
On the Installment of
Sir William Pritchard
LORD MAYOR for the Ensuing Year.
To the Tune of, Tangier March.
|
I.
|
LEt the Whigs revile,
|
The TORIES Smile,
|
That their business is Compleated,
|
Let all Rejoyce
|
With Heart and Voice,
|
That the Whigs at last Defeated.
|
The Whigs for Loyalty so Famd,
|
With all their hopes are Undone;
|
Since now brave Pritchard is Proclaimd
|
The LOYAL Mayor of London.
|
II.
|
You Polish Brace
|
Whose Brazen Face,
|
To the Chair woud be Aspiring,
|
See the Rabble Crowd
|
Who Polld so Loud;
|
Are bawkd beyond Admiring;
|
Learn in time to mitigate
|
Your bold Tumultuous Fury,
|
Ere you shall find, you trust too late,
|
To Ignoramus-Jury.
|
III.
|
Let P---r Tom
|
Receive the Doom,
|
So long due for his Cheating,
|
Who did purloyn
|
The CITY Coyn,
|
To keep up Holy Meeting;
|
To Rob the Orphan, and the Poor,
|
His great Discharge of Trust is,
|
And run upon the Widdows Score,
|
To do the CITY Justice.
|
IV.
|
Let Ward Repent,
|
And Jenks Relent,
|
Their Practices so malitious,
|
Let Hobland rue
|
With all the Crew,
|
That they were so Officious;
|
Such Jews as these, who did deny
|
Their Saviour for a Tester,
|
No doubt again woud Crucify,
|
Their Sovereign Lord and Master.
|
V.
|
For NORTH and RICH,
|
And every such,
|
They set up a Papillion;
|
Gainst PRITCHARD hold,
|
With Cornish, Gold,
|
With Ryot and Rebellion:
|
To love the KING can you pretend,
|
Who Royallists deny all;
|
And with such Vigour dare contend,
|
Against the Man thats Loyal.
|
VI.
|
For shame in time
|
Repent your Crime,
|
Your Ryot and Commotion;
|
And to the MAYOR,
|
Who kept the Chair,
|
Pay all your just Devotion;
|
Such was their Loyalty of late,
|
To give the KING no Money:
|
But freely threw away their Plate,
|
To joyn with Rebel TONEY.
|
VII.
|
Thus you before
|
Did run on score
|
With Royal CHARLES your Master;
|
Like drunk or mad
|
Spent all you had
|
To uphold a bold Imposture:
|
Let not Knaves again betray,
|
And rob you of your Reason,
|
Then leave your Factious Heads to pay
|
The forfeit of your Treason.
|
VIII.
|
With all your heat
|
What did you get?
|
With all your din and quarter;
|
But to involve
|
With each Resolve
|
The more-entangld CHARTER?
|
To CHARLES your just Allegiance give,
|
Your PROPERTIES, then plead em:
|
Defending the PREROGATIVE,
|
You best protect your FREEDOM.
