Scotlands Good Wishes to His Royal Highness:
OR,
The Whigs Malice Discovered and Defeated.
Being a most pleasant New Song, to a New Tune,

JOckey away Man, Dee'l have me by the Luggs,
E're I will stay man, to be such a Rogue;
By my Bonnet Sawny, do'st thou not see,
How the false Loons at Forty-One wou'd be?
They wou'd Venture, Banter, Ranter,
both the New Whigg, and Old Covenanter;
Division, Misprision, Sedition,
They've wrapp'd up in the Association.

(2)
But now at length we've got the removing on't,
Into a Test we've turned the Covenant;
Muckle Dee'l have the Loons is my pray'r,
E're they bereave us of our right Lawful Heir:
For Scotland's Royal, Loyal, Joyal,
Jemmys our joy, the Whigs we defie all:
We mighted him, righted him,
When England slighted him,
Tan ta ra ra ra Boys, now we'l delight in him.

(3)
What a muckle stir have the Loons been making?
Nay, in geud faith, they have been a raking
Into the Embers of old Sedition,
To light Solemn League with New Petition:
But yet Great Jemmy shall be, will be
Happy in spight of whate're they still do:
Though Whigs hate him,
Slight him, spight him,
Tan ta ra ra ra Boys, and we'l delight him.

(4)
He is a Prince that's Royaly descended,
Whom the kind Heavens have so long befriended;
Though of late the politick Faction
'Bout him have studyed to raise a Distraction:
He'l defie all, is Royal, Loyal,
And next our geud King, in him we'l joy all,
Might him, right him, shou'd England slight him,
Tan ta ra ra ra Boys, and we'l delight him.

(5)
He is a Souldier that is far Renowned,
And has with Victory full oft been Crowned;
Whenas the Man with the Tap in's side,
At Worster did bluster, and yet his Head did hide:
Though he's zealous, jealous rebellious,
And Prince of Whiggland, as some do tell us,

Yet the brave Albany, will be, shall be
Famous, when Faction shall not at all be.

(6)
Full well we see what they wou'd be doing,
And what mischief the Loon Whiggs are sowing;
Muckle Dee'l take them e're they reap it,
And burn the solemn League with those that keep it,
And they that love it, move it, prove it,
For now we'l be loyal, and strive to remove it;
In spight of their Railing,
Assailing, Cabaling,
Tan ta ra ra ra Boys, we will delight him.

(7)
For Jemmy has settled the Scottish Nation,
A Prince brave and wise, not rul'd by passion;
Though Whigs that strive to raise discontent,
Make him the Quarrel to give Rebellion vent;
Yet we joy all, are loyal, defie all,
Dare them to put their deeds to a Tryal;
For we'l might him,
Right him, bright him,
Tan ta ra ra ra Boys, and we'l delight him.

(8)
In spight of Whig-Feasts made to oppose him,
Who with loud Rabble strive to out-noise him;
Great Jemmy shall prosper muckle well,
In spight of the Factious his Vertue does excell:
The more they hate him, spight him, slight him,
The more loyal subjects strive for to right him:
Expressing, Confessing
Their joy for the Blessing,
Tan ta ra ra ra boys, and we'l delight him.
