I. GAllants far and near, Pray now listen here, While my Grief and Sorrows now I do relate: I was one of those Which did once propose To dispute of weighty things in Church and State, Constantly maintaining Who was fit for Reigning; Thus in Taverns we our Treasons did advance, And did Healths express, Wishing all Success Often to great Lewis, potent King of France. II. In the early Spring, How his Fame did ring, When by Storm the mighty Town of Mons he took; Then our Factious Crew Did their Joys renew; E'ery Jacobite could give a cheerfull Look: And we never doubted, But we should see routed All united Kings and Princes far and near; But instead of Fame, We are cloath'd with Shame, And great Lewis now begins to quake for fear. III. We such Villains were That I do declare None was like us sure in all the World before: Daily did we boast That an Armed Host Sent from France should here invade our British Shore:
Meerely for destroying What we are enjoying, Christian Laws, which do's our Blessings still renew, We did lack to see Turn to Slavery, And Religion's utter Extirpation too. IV. In this Villany Who more hot than I, For the present Government I did disdain; Often did I swear, That my Beard I'd wear Till the Abdicated King return'd again: But I curs'd the Fancy, For my charming Nancy, Who in Beauty like an Angel did appear; Soon my purpose crost, So that I have lost She whose Portion was five thousand pounds a year. V. Oh this bushy Beard Made her so afraid That I want admitted to salute her hand; But I now will trim, And submit to him Who is mighty potent Lord of all the Land; Why should Romish Faction. Lead me to Distraction, Having lost enough by that Fantastick Crew, Perfect Loyalty, King and Queen shall see, And for Jacobites I bid them all adieu.
FINIS.
