AT last let the Murmurs and Tumults all cease, And let us lye down, in the Shades of sweet peace, Let Envy, strife, Hurry, and all that attend u'm, Be banished to those that amongst us did send u'm. Let our cares and our fears, and all jealousie perish, Let no idle fancies and false rumours Cherish:
For in vain they disturb us, in vain to torment us, And banish those joys that were is us'd to frequent us. Let State Polititians aspire to renown, By contriving the welfare, and peace of the Crown: Let Caesar be happy, let him long live and Reign, To him let our Loyalty, ever remain.
Let him live, let him live, in all pleasure and peace, Let his Laurels still flourish, and his Triumphs ne'r cease; Whilst a health it goes round, and may none be blest; That thoughts of disloyalty, shrowds in his Breast. Let England rejoyce, let the Nations be glad, Let Divisions all vanish, that makes us so sad? Whilst a Health it goes round and we love one another, All heats and all passions From henceforth lets smother Lets rejoyce and be glad, let England now flourish And those that divide us wou'd let them all perish: In peace and in unity blessings await us, And those that love others conclude that they hate us. And let them be branded, as the Nations chief foes, Whilst each good Subject, his loyalty shows: This King and his Country, he ever is true,
Who thoughts of disloyalty, never yet knew. Here's a Health to all such then come lets see't go round, Whilst the drum it beats dub a dub and Trumpets sound: Whilst our joys and our wishes, like our Glasses are full, And hang up all those, that morrosly are dull. 'Tis mine boy, 'tis thine boy. come about let it go, A Health to true loyalties where e're they grow: A fig for all others, they are not for us boys. Let, let them be banish'd in that there is no loss Boys. But the Nation will quiet be, better without um, Then heres a good Health boy, to those that do rout um: And to all good Subjects that pray for their King, For from him boys, from him our welfare doth spring.
