A Vintner he from fair London would Ride, Down to Gloster City, in order to hide His head from the Merchant, to whom he did owe, Much Money for Claret, Canary also. And being unwilling the Merchant to pay, He Packt up his Awls Sir, and soon rid away. This Vintner was of the Jacobite Strain, And did not approve of a Protestant Reign, Because of the late Prohibition of Wine, Had caused his Trading of late to decline, Therefore he no longer his Tavern would hold, But went off with two Hundred Guinnies in Gold. He mounted a sumptuous Bay-Gelding, we hear, And did in most Gallant apparel appear, His Sword, Wig, and Bever so Rich and compleat,
That he was as great as a Lord in conceit, My Landlord, with Merchant, I leave both behind And pay them I will when the Devil is blind, He amble'd and gallop'd, two up and two down, At length when he came into a market Town, He took up his Inn and for Liquor did call, As likewise a Supper of Dainties withal: And as he was sitting he labour'd to force, From Roger the Plow-Man, some pleasant discourse. What news have you here in these parts, my good friend? Doth not great Taxes your Landlords offend? The which was not heard of in Jemmy's late Reign, Quoth Roger, there wont be I'm certain again, When once we have conquer'd proud huffing Monsieur, And therefore they pay with a merry good Chear.
The Taverner told him that Lewis was strong, And would send a Fleet, and an Army ere long, The which would this Kingdom with Vigour invade Till then we must never expect a good Trade, With that lusty Roger immediately cry'd, Ye Treacherous Rascal I'll Liquor your Hide. The Londoner then in a Passion did Rave, And cry'd ye poor Bumpkin and pittiful Slave, For what you have spoken, this minute you Dye, But Roger immediately made this Reply, I fear not your Rapier nor Passion to boot, With this very Club I'll your Noddle Salute. This Gallant was going his Rapier to draw, I faith Sir, Quoth Roger, I am for Club-Law, With that he gave him such a Crack on the Crown, Which made him almost like an Oxe tumble down, And crying for mercy and Pitty a-main, Quoth Roger, you'll wish for the French here again. I never will talk at that rate any more, If this heavy Thrashing you'll please to give o're, I'll pray for King William, Queen Mary also, And count the proud French a most Insolent Foe, And curse the whole Gang of the Jacobite Crew, If I may this minute find mercy from you. Quoth Roger, arise and stand up like a man, And here's a good Health to the King, a full Cann, And here is another I drink to the Queen, 'Tis William and Mary, good Fellow, I mean, And here I will make you to pledge their good Health, Wishing them all Glory, true Honour and wealth. Nay this is not all, for before you do go, You now shall drink to the Confusion also, Of all the French Army, and likewise their Fleet, Or else you the end of my Cudgel shall eat, The Jacobite then took a Bumper in hand, And straight was obedient to Roger's Comand, Good Fellow Quoth Roger, now this is well done, Take care that hereafter your Clack do not run, In prating too much of the Favour of France, Least you for the same on a Gibbit should Dance, In kindness to you I will drink tother Cann, And say that you met with a right Honest Man.
