Tis two whole Pots,

To the best of the Scots,

I meane the King himselfe Sir.

our Linen Clothes and Wollen,

Our Pewter Brasse and Beding,

some tane the rest quite spoiled;

if Peace come yet,

how war hath us turmoyled,

Then shall we merrily drink this go[?]

to the good of, etc.

Our Husbands, Sons, and Fathers

our Unckels, and our Cozens,

are slaine out-right,

or maimed quite,

and so undone by dozens;

Our wives, our maids, and daughte[rs]

in our own sight defiled,

this to prevent,

let the Parliament,

and the King be reconciled

Then shall we merrily drinke this [?]

to the good of the, etc.
