1. [Alass] poor Whiggs, our Senats gone, Our Glorys now a setting: [The P]opish Plots laid at our door, [A Bas]tard of our getting: [Our b]loody Cheats, and Shifts & Tricks, [A]nd all our Devilish Play [Will] be disclosd and we provd saints The clean contrary way. 2. Discoverers will discovered be, As paultry purjurd stuff, [A]nd we the Hellish Plotters, that Prepard such Hell-hound-Proof: [We] had the face to guild their Vice, And them like Saints display, [A]nd wheedled them to swear the Truth The clean contrary way. 3. We made their piteous Nonsence good, And Contradictions true, And relisht their unlikely Tales, So blundering like blind Hugh. What card we, if they damnd themselves? So we obtaind the day, And meritorious make our work The clear contrary way. 4. When men did scruple to believe Things, so absurd to Reason; We scorned Reasons Ballance, and We still cryd, Treason, Treason; When the Informers halted had Our hubbubs bore the sway, Affrighting folks into their wits, The clean contrary way. 5. Such Toolls we rackd for Evidence, Like those, that search in Ditches, And darksome holes for poysonous Toads, And hungry sucking Leeches: We gulld Fitz-harris for more guile, The guitless to betray: For which hel reap a sweet reward The clean contrary way. 6. We made the Papists Traitors all, [Th]at none the Snare might scape, [And] all the Royal Protestants [We wo]uld bring in the Trap: They Must be Romanizers too, What er they do or say [And] zealous wishers to the Pope The clean contrary way.
7. The Realms Religion, thats by Law In its Establishment, We made as if afraid to lose, Though from it we dissent; The Church of England in the dust That level we would lay To shew our selves true Protestants The clean contrary way. 8 The long-black-rebel-Parliament We stood to vindicate, We blossomd new in thgood Old Cause Of Commonwealth and State; Yet Monmouths Duke cryd up the while And usd him like a Toy A future Monarch hes designd, The clean contrary way. 9. Twas such, as we, for Charles the first, With many a Protestation His Glory did so much pretend, His Weal and Preservation; But drew the sword against his Friends, And forcd them all away, And him forlorn they did preserve, The clean contrary way. 10. Twas such, as we, the second Charles Did scornfully disown, Calld him the Common Enemy Debard him from his Throne: Who now, but we, cry out of Plots, And for his safety pray, And stand up stout in his defence The clean contrary way. 11. Twas such, as we, in Scotland late Twice actually Rebeld, And (Maugre all the Mercy here) Our English venom sweld: We to Oblivions act so kind Unkind Oblivion pay Like cherisht Vipers yielding thanks The clean contrary way. 12. Yet we assumd the confidence Tho conscious of whats past, To busy our Petitions bold, So frequent and so fast: Instead of Blest, we Blasted are, Alack and well aday! And we henceforth shall trusted be The clean contrary w[ay.]
Printed in the Year, 1681.
