York and Albany's Wel-
come to ENGLAND.
OR,
The Loyal Subjects Joy for his most Miraculous Deliverance.
To a New Play-House Tune, much in request.
|
(1)
|
NOw, now the Duke is safe return'd,
|
in spight of all the Whigs,
|
May they be dam'd don't wish um burnd
|
that slit him cross the Legs:
|
May he be pox'd, and plagu'd, and dam'd
|
that will not drink his Health,
|
And cry God bless the King and Duke,
|
and Damn a Common-wealth.
|
(2)
|
And that this Health be not prophan'd,
|
come Boys fill us a Bumper,
|
And may his blood for e're be stain'd,
|
that drinks the Health of a Rumper;
|
May Halter here, and Hell hereafter
|
such Vagrants portions be,
|
That leave the King and Duke, to drink
|
the Health of Shaftsbury.
|
(3)
|
Now some may think I damn too much,
|
but can't assign the why so;
|
For this I say, to answer such,
|
I damn but with Proviso;
|
So may the Vintner too be damn'd,
|
if he han't drawn the best;
|
Then here's the loyal parties Health,
|
a Pox of all the rest.
|
(4)
|
But here I had almost forgot
|
another changeing Glass;
|
The best in Christendom, the Health,
|
let no Man hang an Arse:
|
For he that doth not love the Duke,
|
he hardly loves his King;
|
But he that loves his King and Duke,
|
can't love no better thing.
|
(5)
|
Then round about come let it go,
|
and joyfully we'l sing;
|
Not fearing any Whiggish force,
|
we'l cry God save the King:
|
Rebellion shall no more inslave,
|
we will defie the Rout;
|
And drink confusion to the Knave
|
that lies upon the Scout.
|
(6)
|
Fanaticks all we will defie,
|
Whig-Parliaments we hate;
|
We nought can breath but loyalty
|
both unto Church and State.
|
Long live our Gracious King and Queen,
|
and Royal Albany;
|
Our joy shall more and more be seen,
|
whilst we abound in joy.
|
(7)
|
Then round about let each his Glass
|
unto the brim now fill;
|
To every Loyalist come pass,
|
and we'l be jovial still:
|
Great Albany of high renown,
|
a Prince is eke of fame;
|
Whom Lawrels still and Vertues crown,
|
and do his worth proclaim.
|
(8)
|
Come round about your Claret fill,
|
to Bacchus we will quaff;
|
Though factious Whigs they repine still,
|
we'l drink our Wine and laugh,
|
And cry long live the King and Duke,
|
in spight of all their foes;
|
And Heaven the Factious Rout rebuke,
|
that would procure their woes.
