COme, England, make a joyful Day, our Gracious King an Queen Have took the Chimney-Tax away, has so vexatious been: Collectors now must all go down, who were such frightful Evils, That one would scare a Country-Town, as much as twenty Devils.
The Good old Dames when ever they the Chimney Man espyed; Unto their Nooks they'd hast away, their Pots, and Pipkins hide: But now those Bugbears are pluckt down, you hated thus to see; You now may use what e're's your own, from straining you are free.
There is not one Old Dame in Ten, and search the Nation through; But when you talk of Chimney Men, shall spare a Curse or two: Let us unto our Gracious King, our grateful thanks repay, For doing such a generous thing, as take this Tax away. Now happy Times are coming on, let's pray that they may last; For now the Chimney Tax is gone, our cheifest care is past: We'll in our Country Cottage sing, and push the Jugg about; We'll drink an Health unto our King, till all our Liquour's out, No Nation e're could be more blest, or greater ease enjoy; We of those Rights are repossest, which Popery did destroy: From cares and fears we are set free, our King such Bounty gives; Each Man enjoys his Liberty, and like a Prince he lives.
The Chimney-Money, which opprest the people that are poor; Such grievances are now redrest, and will be felt no more: How blest and happy is our Land, in such a Gracious King, Whose Noble Heart and Giving Hand, doth all these Blessings bring? The Country Wives now need not dear to bring their Pewter forth; Or let their shining shelves declare their Cleanliness and Worth: For Chimney Men no more will come, or take your Goods away; You safely may enjoy your home, there's no such Tax to pay. Our loving Gracious King and Queen, may Heaven ever bless; God give them both a Prosperous Reign, and Crown their Happiness; May they those Enemies destroy, that 'gainst them do Conspire; And may they here on Earth enjoy, all Blessings they desire.
