THE
LOYALIST
Setting Forth the
WHIGG
In his Own
COLOURS.
A New SONG, To the Tune of Sawny and Jockey.

I.
COme, fill it up, and give me a Brimmer Boy;
Jammeys come home again, with him his Dearest Joy:
Let's Quaffe it round in spight of the Whiggish Crew,
Jack Catch I hope at last will give the Deele his due.
Let us true Loyal
Subjects Joy all,
In the Blood Royal without denyal.
True Hearted
Are Thwarted,
--------- And oftentimes
Parted:
But never will start from their Principles Loyal.

II.
May Whiggish Designes, be always discover'd,
The Ills of these Times will then be recover'd:
Too lately they did Three Kingdoms Confound,
And made them Drink Healths of their Blood on the Ground.
For whilst the Nation
Is wrought into Passion,
By False Perswasion, Dissimulation:
True Subjects will
Suffer ill,
And bear the Burden
Still,
Till Loyalty is once more out of Fashion.

III.
Let Old Trinomen have his due in the end,
May G--- and M--- think him no more their Friend;
Let them no longer give Ear to his Pollicie,
For all his Cunning he may gain the Gallow-Tree:
But let them flye him,
No more come nigh him,
With Penitent Sighing, always defye him.
Let Coo---r
Have fair Play,
Care, Curtiss,
Janeway;
Jack Gatch can teach them the true way of dying.

IV.
Why should false Zeal expose us to Evil,
Where Out-sides's all Saint, and Insides's all Devil;
For thus it has prov'd e're since Reformation,
When Presbyter Swayes, Kings are out of Fashion:
Too late it was their Cry,
Let him die, Popery
Will through the Kingdom flee, stand for the Cause Boy:
We the Land
By our Hand,
Will Command
Who Withstands,
Shall for a Traytor unto the State die.

V.
Thus when the Zealots the Power had got,
True Subjects Estates, nay Lives went to Pot:
Then all were Rebells that Fought for their King,
And Damn'd Sequestration was then the next thing:
Choose, cryes the City,
A Zealous Committee,
To Cavaleers grant no manner of Pity:
The Old Cause,
Destroyes Laws,
Hangs, Drawes
For Old Sawes:
And this was Poor Englands late Presbyter Ditty.

VI.
Then let us beware of a second relapse,
Long Live the King and York, cast up your Capps:
Let us endeavour to preserve the Nation
From Subtil Devices, Bills, Associations,
Then let 'em Plot on,
Lot on, Pot on;
In their Cabals Boyes, still let 'em Sot;
Let's Watch 'em,
And Catch 'em,
Dispatch 'em,
Rope Stretch 'em;
Vive le Roy, Then let the Pox Rot 'em.


London, Printed for C. Tebroc, Anno Dom. 1682.
