Monmouth's Return;
OR,
The Mistaken WHIGGS.
Tune of, Tell me Jenny, etc.

I.
NOw the Rash Imputing Torys,
which so long have rail'd at Jemmy;
Soon recant your idle Storys,
he's the Man that must Redeem ye
All your Joys,
Therefore Boys,
cry Huzza with Hoop and Hollow;
Beat the Drum,
Jemmy's come,
a Warlike Mars, and Wise Apollo.

II.
Jemmy now the Whiggs has bubbled,
his design was thus to sham 'em;
Let all Loyal their joys be doubled,
but for Whiggs, the Devil Dam 'em:
Jemmy went
With intent.
to their Damn'd Association;
But to find
Where the Wind,
sat against the tottering Nation.

III.
For Young Jemmy who endured
has so long the King's displeasure;
Humbly now returns assured,
to regain his love by leasure;
Which when he,
On his Knee,
did Intreat, or once Demand too;
The King did soon,
Grant his Boon,
and suffer'd him to kiss his Hand too.

IV.
Let the Circumvented Rumpers
perish, whilst the Loyal Tory,
Briskly does Carrouse his Bumpers,
to Young Jemmy's Health and Glory:
Fill the Glass,
Let it pass
fairly round from one to t'other;
Let him dye,
That won't cry,
God bless the King, his Son, and Brother.

V.
Now the double-minded Trimmers,
moulded up of Whigg and Tory;
Pitch your Anchor in full Brimmers,
now the Case is plain before ye:
Leave the Whiggs,
Dam those Priggs,
let Whiggerythe worst of Sin be;
Let no part
Possess your heart,
if you do the Devil's in ye.

VI.
York and Monmouth now are Friends too,
Love and Loyalty possess 'em;
You that to the same pretends to,
never cease to cry God bless 'em:
E'ry Lad,
Shall be glad,
let us make the World to Ring Boys,
May he Rot,
That will not
pledge this Health, God Bless the King, Boys.


FINIS.
