THE
French King's ADVICE
To the Late
HIGH-FLYING M--b-rs.
To the Tune of Lillibullero.
|
WELL play'd, my dear Friends, (for the Catholick Cause)
|
To Imprison the Aylesbury-Men, and the Laws:
|
What should Whigs do with Votes to oppose such as You,
|
To the Right-Line, and Lewis, so Faithful and True.
|
Hang Law and Liberty,
|
Damn Law and Liberty;
|
Make Law and Liberty truckle to You:
|
'Tis Your Tory-Priviledge,
|
My French-Prerogative,
|
All Law and Liberty quite to Subdue.
|
You may Seize their Old Rights, without Shadow of Wrong,
|
Who of his have depriv'd your Jemmy so long:
|
Your Electors would all be your Kings, if You'd let 'em;
|
But our Wooden-Shooes will far better fit 'em.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
Shall the Q---n and the L---ds your Pretensions deride
|
To cut of those Votes, that would set You aside?
|
By hook or by crook, do but you get the Purse,
|
The Q------n and the L------ds must Submit, or do worse.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
Tell the People, 'tis all for Them, and the Churnh;
|
(Tho' when You're got in, You shall leave 'em i' th' Lurch:)
|
Learn 'em this, and theyll swallow Transubstantiation;
|
Then mount their Blind Faith, and ride the tame Nation.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
You must stick at no Lying, or Swearing whatever;
|
Kiss Doll, and hug Dick, and Treat 'em as never:
|
You must Flatter and Bribe to the height for their Votes;
|
First fall at their Feet, then fly at their Throats.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
Here's my Purse for to answer your Charges and Pains,
|
And to bind your Electors in French Golden Chains:
|
When once they are Bound, you can make 'em Obey;
|
Or shew 'em to Newgate and Tyburn the Way.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
The Occasional-Bill you must stiffly defend,
|
Swear it does both the Church, and the Meetings befriend:
|
By this Way we o'erthrew the Curs'd Edict of Nantz,
|
And drove to the Union, which now blesses France.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
Tell the sheepish Dissenters, They without any Care
|
May depend for their Safety on God, and their Prayer:
|
Or if thrown out of Places, and thrown into Jays,
|
Twill but speed 'em to Heaven with forwarder Gales.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
If Whigs would refuse You, refuse 'em their Poll:
|
And the Frenchisy'd Mayor, who shall dare to Control?
|
But if some will to Law, like the Alesbury-Men,
|
You must lay 'em in Jayl, and their Council agen.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
If You get but this Choice once happily o'er,
|
The Q---n, L--ds, and Mob will be quite out of door:
|
You shall model the Rights of the Voters, and then
|
Always You. or your Friends, be the Parliament-Men.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
But what if You make this to be their Last Choice?
|
Should Btutes (in their Carriage and Sense) have a Voice?
|
Why not set up at once for Eternal Dictators,
|
And put into Practice what is in your Natures?
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
When You've Paid for their Votes, You may honestly Seize 'em
|
So of Trouble and Care in their Choosing you'll ease 'em:
|
Their own Money Tack'd to a well-framed Bill
|
Shall Un-Queen, and Un-Lord, and bow all to Your Will.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
Then Rome and HIGH-Church we'll intirely Unite;
|
For Laud and L'Estrange make the Difference slight;
|
Should Abby-Lands go, we'll make their Estates
|
To Pay for it, who will not drive on at our Rates.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
We'll bring in Young Jemmy, and raise his Arrears
|
By Plunder, and Taxes on all Mutineers:
|
Low-Church, and Dissenters that will not Comply,
|
Sshall be Fin'd, Whipp'd Imprison'd, Starv'd, Banish'd and Dye.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
French, Scots, Irish Arms shall together Combine
|
With Brave English Jacks no Restore the Right-Line:
|
In a New Triple-League, France, Britain, and Spain,
|
Over all the known World shall Absolute reign.
|
Hang Law and Liberty, etc.
|
Your Jemmy shall Places and Honours bestow,
|
Which to my fast Friends for his Throne he will owe;
|
And shall make 'em descend, as the Crown which he wears,
|
In Despite of all Claims to You and Your Heirs.
|
Hang Law and Liberty,
|
Damn Law and Liberty;
|
Make Law and Liberty truckle to You:
|
'Tis Your Tory-Priviledge,
|
My French-Prerogative,
|
All Law and Liberty quite to Subdue.
