A Whigg Ballad,
OR, A
SUMMONS
To a fresh
ASSOCIATION.
To the Tune of Tumble down Dick.

ON Month of September we summon you All,
Our Summons is by our Good Lord Mayor's Call,
As you Love Common-Wealth, and Abhor White-Hall:
Which nobody can deny.

Tho Vote for P--- and Weaver D---
(The Whiggs thrice-beloved, not Citizens, Choice;)
No matter what Reason, so you make a Noise;
Which nobody can deny.

(Ralph B--- having, after a long Tory-Tugg,
Instead of a Druggist, himself prov'd a Drugg,
Paid Fine to a Lover of Dear Mother Mugg:)
Which, etc.

You All here are cited to Common-Hall Vote.
Each one to lift up his True Protestant Throat,
And bawl in Defyance of Men of good Note:
Which, etc.

These are therefore to summon each Eves-dropping Citt,
Who for a State-Holder has dubb'd himself fit,
And damns All that's Loyal without Fear or Wit:
Which, etc.

To Roar at Guild-Hall like Homerical Mars,
In defyance oth' Head, with regard to the *A---
(Guild-Hall is your Stage, and Sedition your Farce.)
Which, etc.

*Rump.

Now after a Summons so Debonaire,
Held forth by Proprietour of the Chair,
We challenge All Whiggs to Guild-Hall to repair:
Which, etc.

For if half be True, that of late has been bruited,
The Rioting Whiglanders soon will be Routed,
As sure as Don Hornish by Bull was Cornuted:
Which, etc.

Then either born up by bold Holder forth,
You'l bravely confront your *Deadly Foe North,
Contending like Men of True Protestant Worth:
Which, etc.

*Dudley.

Or else, like Men-worthy, at Home you will Stay.
Solacing your Wives the Jack Pres-byter way;
If so, Good Old Cause must sing Well-a-day.
Which, etc.
