A NEW
IGNORAMUS.
Being the second New SONG.
To the same Old Tune, Law lyes a Bleeding.
|
[1]
|
SInce Popish Plotters,
|
Join'd with Bogg-Trotters,
|
Sham-Plots are made as fast, as Pots are form'd by Potters
|
Against these Furies
|
There no such Cure is,
|
As what our Law provides, our True and Loyal Juries.
|
The Action and Paction
|
That breeds our Distraction,
|
Is secretly Contrived by the Popish Faction.
|
Who sham us and flam us,
|
Trepan us, and damn us,
|
And then grow enraged when they hear Ignoramus.
|
[2]
|
Traytors are rotten,
|
Yet not forgotten,
|
Nor Meal Tub Devices, which never well did Cotten.
|
At ev'ry Season
|
Inventing Treason,
|
And Shams that none believed that had or Sense or Reason
|
With fetches and stretches,
|
These notorious Wretches
|
Would get Loyal Subjects into their Bloody Clutches.
|
They sham us, and flam us, etc.
|
[3]
|
If wicked Tories
|
Could pack their Juries,
|
That would believe Black, White, and all their Lying Stories
|
Then by Art Stygian
|
Whiggs prov'd a Widgeon,
|
And should be Hang'd for Plotting against the Popes Re-ligion.
|
They'd hear a, and swear a
|
Thing that was a meer a
|
Gross Lye as e'r was told, and find it Billa vera.
|
Then sham us, and flam us, etc.
|
[4]
|
This IGNORAMUS,
|
For which they blame us,
|
And to the Pit of Hell, so often Curse and Damn us,
|
Are men by Tryal,
|
Honest and Loyal,
|
And for their King and Country ready are to Die all,
|
They show it, and Vow it,
|
Honest men do know it,
|
Their Loyalty they hold, and never will forgoe it.
|
They sham us, and flam us, etc.
|
[5]
|
At the Old-Baily
|
Where men don't dally,
|
And Traytors oft are Try'd, as Coleman, Whitebread[,] Staley[,]
|
Was late Indicted,
|
Witnesses cited,
|
A Loyal Protestant, who spight of Rogues was Righted,
|
Offences commences
|
all mens Senses,
|
'Cause the honest Jury believed not Evidences.
|
They sham us, and flam us, etc.
|
[6]
|
For which a Villain
|
Who for Ten Shilling
|
To Hang a Protestant shall be found very willing,
|
Now at this Season
|
And without Reason,
|
Shall call the Jury Traytors, and the Law make Treason.
|
In fashion is Passion,
|
Curses and Damnation,
|
How quiet should we be, were Rogues sent to their Sta-tion.
|
They sham us, and flam us, etc.
|
[7]
|
what is Conscience
|
Ith' Jesuites own Sence,
|
For the Church one may Lye, and forswear without of[-]fence[.]
|
Now what a Lurry,
|
Keeps barking Tory,
|
'Cause he is not able the Innocent to whorry!
|
Doth wrangle and brangle,
|
he cannot intangle,
|
Nor bring honest Tony to the Block or Triangle.
|
They sham us, and flam us, etc.
|
[8]
|
I'le tell you What, Sir,
|
You must go Plot, Sir,
|
And get better Witness e'r Wise Men go to Pot Sir,
|
When such abettors,
|
Protestant haters,
|
Would damn their Souls to Hell to make them wicked Traytors,
|
We mind it and wind it,
|
And are not now blinded,
|
For what we now reject, no honest Juryle find it,
|
They sham us, and flam us,
|
They ram us and damn us,
|
When, according to the Law, we find IGNORAMUS.
