I Am a poor Jacobite now in distress, Who wish'd for Old Lewis; but nevertheless Afford me some pity, consider my cries, And look on my sorrowful watery eyes: In all our strange projects, alas! we are crost, And I like a Dog in a Blanket am tost. O let our Friend, Lucifer, now be accurst, He has like a Villain been false to his trust, He led us like Bears by the Nose in a string, Declaring French Cut-throats should come in the Spring; But he is a Lyar, that project is crost, And I like a Dog in a Blanket am tost,
A Plot we invented, in hopes to prevail, The French with their Fleet likewise hoisted up Sail, Which made us all proud of the Jacobite name, Concluding we had been Cock-sure of the Game: But in chose Designs we were plaguely crost, And I like a Dog in a Blanket am tost. When ever we met with our caballing Crew, For fear of the Beadles and Constables too; We all flock'd together, like Owls in the dark, Of e'ry Transaction to make a remark: But all our [De]signs they were plaguely crost, And I like a Dog in a Blanket am tost.
What Cups of Confusion amongst us went round, Whilst some of us bent our bare Knees to the ground, So Zealous we was for the Infidel Cause, That we could destroy both Religion and Laws: But we in those projects were plaguely crost, And I like a Dog in a Blanket am tost. Although I was born of a Protestant Race, Believe me, as sure as I'm tost in this place, The French Yoke and Fetters I'd never refuse, Besides I'm in love with their dear wooden Shoes: Now seeking for which, we are plaguely crost, And I like a Dog in a Blanket am tost. We had but three Friends to perform this great Work, Which was our dear Devil, French King, and the Turk; And these are all worsted both by Sea and Land, I fear that their Empires does tottering stand: In this great Design they are cursedly crost, And I like a Dog in a Blanket am tost. Almost to the Skies there they toss me amain, And as I come down still they cant me again, The which puts me into a sad stinking fear, Have pity upon a poor Jacobite here: For that little Sense which I had I have lost, While I like a Dog in a Blanket am tost. Good People he pleased to Pardon me now, And as I'm a Man, here I solemnly vow; The French I'll forsake, and the Jacobites too, Likewise to King William prove Loyal and True: Pray let not my Senses be utterly lost, While I like a Dog in a Blanket am tost. I'll do what I can my Late Friends to persuade To leave off their Cabals and old Plotting Trade, And turn to King William; pray pardon me then Shew mercy to me as you are Gentlemen: My Reason and Senses I have almost lost, While I like a Dog in a Blanket am tost.
