WHat means this grumbletonian Crew! Oh! what is it they fain would do? Sure mischief on themselves they bring, Who Plo[t]s against our gracious King. [What is it] more these Men would have, [Then what] there is a Prince most brave, [Who for] his Nation thinks it good, [To ventu]re still his dearest Blood? [To Fla]nder's [ye]arly he does go, [To fig]ht brave England[']s greatest Foe, And yet the Jacobites, they say, Are plotting Mischief e'ry day. For Knights and Majors, Captains too, And others of his hellish Crew, Who all did Plot up[o]n one day, To take the King's dear Life away. Forty or fifty were the Gang, I[n] time at Tybourn they may hang, And then their Quarters separate, For to be set upon each Gate, For wickedly thus to combine In this same hellish base design, That is [t]o give the fatal Blow, When the King should to his Chappel go. But thanks to Heaven, which o're rules These Jacobites and plotting Fools, And put it in the Heart of one, For to discover the whole Gang. Who did a Letter send away, For to pr[e]vent this bloody Day, Which notice gave of e'ry thing, And why they were to Kill the King.
Oh! Traytors, Traytors, full of Blood, You [n]e'r can act for England's Good, Who strives for to destroy our King, And bring a foolish Papist in. Besides the bloody French must come, Oh! where are we then e'ry one? For Father, Mother, Son and Wench, Must all be Slaves unto the French. Our Liberty, Religion, and All that's dear unto this Land, Must by a Papist Power be Inslaved then in Misery. Bu[t] Heaven, who does Power give, Does still preserve our King alive, Inspite of Plotters wicked hand, Who would destroy our King and Land. As by this wicked bloody Plot Of Papists, who together got, Some Irish, French and English, who Would hands in Royal Blood imbrew. At Richmond they design'd to act This villanous and bloody Fact; But by a Letter that was sent, It did (thank God) the same prevent. Another time they had pit[c]'d, When the King was a Hunting gone, Two or three hundred had agreed To make our Royal King to bleed. But now comes all their discontent, For sev'ral are to Newgate sent, And must remain in Goal each one Till try'd, then Tybourn is thir doom.
