THere's none can express, Your great Happiness, The like was ne're seen since the Days of Queen Bess A Nation enslav'd, And Justice outbrav'd, To be thus redeemed, and gallantly sav'd, By an Orange. O who can declare, A thing that's so rare, To be thus delivered from Lion and Bear: Was the like ever seen, That both King and Queen. And the counterfeit Prince too, should thus lose [t]heir Skreen, By an Orange. The Guns in the Tower Have desperate power, To fright all the City in less than an Hour; But tho Powder and Shot Be cursedly hot, [I]t may yet be cool'd, pray why may it not, With an Orange.
The King was so bold To march through the Could, Tho he was so weak, so crazy and old; To carry his Train, To Salisbury Plain, But soon was he frighted to turn back again, By an Orange. Our terrible Guns, And Catholick Sons, Did march with their Bullets, in Barrels and Tuns; But as People say, They kept Holi-day, Till most of their Keepers were frighted away, By an Orange. Our Queen in a Fit Did storm up her Wit, To fight with as many, as she did think fit; But G------ and his N---, With many a brave Man, To cure her Madness will do what they can, With an Orange.
What brave gallant Tales Of our Prince of Wales Might easily be told, if it were not for Jails; But time may evince This wonderful Prince May prove but a Peasant, if once he but mince Of an Orange. All which to prevent, Our Queen was content, That he into France, should straightway be sent; His birth to conceal, And Grandeur to steal, Till he is sufficiently able to deal, With an Orange Our Cathloicks rare Do bid very fair, To stand by the Dad, & his new fashion'd Heir; Some say they do well, But yet who can tell? They all may sing backwards, because they do smell, Of an Orange. Our Friers and Devils And such kind of Evils, That pester'd our Nation, has now got the Snivils; Yet still they can croak, And keep on their Cloak, But thinking to swallow, they meet with a Choak, From an Orange. Our Irish Dear-Joys, And such Tory-Boys, That lately disturb'd all our Nation with Noise; and gave out their votes, For cutting of Throats; There's nothing against them, can make Anti- dotes, Like an Orange. Alas what cursed Fate, Brought Teague and his Mate, To be thus exposed to Fury and Hate; When they come to fight, For young Tyle'rs Right They should be thus shamefully put to the Flight, By an Orange? Alloo, Allagone, Faith had we but known, The Tricks the damn'd English to us here have shown; We'd taken up our Dwell, In St. Patricks Well, So had we escaped this damnable Smell. Of an Orange.
What scampering play Do we see e'ry day? What Monshish Devices, to run clear away? Our Jesuits now Do both swear and vow, They'd run far enough, if they did but know how, From an Orange. O the Buck and the Doe, With many knows who: The King, and the Queen, and the Counterfeit too, Do strangely incroach By Boat and by Coach, As not being able to abide the Approach, Of an Orange. Now ye Protestants all, That so your selves Call, Where ever you dwell, tho it be at White-Hall: It doth you behove Your time to improve, And whilst 'tis in Season learn quickly to love A Dutch Orange. For it you delay And trifle away Your time (that is given to work in) at play; You'l surely be crost, And dreadfully tost, And sadly repent, you so foolishly lost, A Brave Orange. If you Love your lives, Religion and Wives, The turn out these Hornets, that lurk in your Hives: Don't let Dirt and Mud Run thorow your Blood; For Protestant Stomach there's nothing so good As an Orange. This bold Roman Witch Has been digging a Ditch, And long time advancing with Spur and with Switch: Till your Fetters were fast, And your hopes were ev'n past; But Providence sent you a Med'cine at last, In an Orange When you have got Power, O do not devour, Your Brethren (as formerly) every Hour: But let's all agree, to give Liberty, And bless God Almighty, for setting us free, By an Orange
