(1) REjoyce, rejoyce all ye brave English Hearts, Since Popery from our Nation must depart, For the Prince will have a Free Parliament, And they bravely will settle our Government: Then let every honest true-hearted man, Do their endeavour as near as they can, For to uphold the Prince in the way of Right, Against the Pope and their Jesuits spight. (2) I hope that brave Trading hereafter we shall see, And plenty of work for the poor there will be; For a harder time never was in any mans age, Since the Pope and the Jesuits mounted the stage. Now our Lady Mary and Father Peters is fled, Father Francis is shrunk away as if he was dead: Then rejoyce all ye brave English true-hearted Boys, And sound forth your Loyalty with eccho's of joys. (3) You may see how the Nobles and Gentry all o're the Land, To maintain the Protestant Religion how bravely they stand; The Lord Devonshire he gives his Royal consent, With brave Lord Dellamere for a Free Parliament; At the Rendezvous in fair Nottingham Town, With the Lords and Genry of high Renown; They gave in their Declaration to the Countrys content, And their whole voice as for a Free Parliament. (4) There's gallant Prince George one of valor & might Stands up to maintain the Protestants Right; With the brave D. of Grafton, and his Royal train, Our Rights and our Laws he strives to maintain. The Bishop of Cantebury, which ever did stand Up for the Good Old Cause of this Land; Then let all others be free to give their consent, That we may enjoy a Free Parliament. (5) If the Prince had not come our joys for to raise, Before this time most of us had ended our days; For Popery was got to that height of pride, They that would not turn be sure must have dy'd: For their Bits and Bridles, and Gridirons was made, And they were ready to go to their Massacre trade, With their long Knives for the stopping of notes, And like Judas, long'd to be cutting our Throats.
(6) The L. Dover doth not know where to hide his head Since he so bravely has made his own Bed; He was for taking off the Test and Penal Lwas, And perswaded the King to Rule wihout reason or laws But he shall know before out of England he go, Before the Parliament to give account in weal or wo; And for ought I know, he may chance for to dance Another new Jig before he goes to France. (7) As for the L ord Chancellor that climb'd so high, He must climb higher before that he dye, That is to Tyburn, for to take a swing, And there dance the Morris in a Hempen string; For hanging those men wrongfully in the West, Without right Judgement or Jury, I protest; And for brave Monmouth, they say he is dead, but the 'tother man's come to look for his Head. (8) And as for Lord Gray, which was false to his Trust, When he takes another Oath I wish he may burst: Had it not been for him, M-----th had not lost the day Had he not with his Horse like a Coward ran away. If Monmouth be dead, he was the cause of losing's life, For which he deserves to be hang'd to end the strife, Some say he's alive, and some say he is dead, So they'r come to London to look for his Head. (9) And for Mr. Daniel, that Fire-brand of Hell, Now where he is gone indeed I cannot tell: To have Bury blown up, he Letters did send To Mr. Stafford, that was his Popish Friend: But I hope e're long he taken will be, That he may answer for his Treachery: Then let his Lady Mary make Intercession for he When he comes to dance on the three-legged Tree. (10) And the Jesuit-Council which the King had of late, when Jack Ketch takes them how bravely they'l prat But the mean time they must lye in a Jayl, If they can't get Saint Patrick to be their Bayl; And all the great Papists, as fast as they can, They must give an acount man after man, For beheading the man whose Breeches was red, Now they are come again to look for his Head. His Stockings was blew and his Breeches was red And they are come again for to look for his Head
