HEres a health to the King and his lawful successors, To Tantivy, Tories, and Loyal Addressers: No matter for those that promoted Petitions, To poyson the Nation, and stir up Seditions: Heres a health to the Queen and her Ladies of Honour, A pox on all those who put Sham-plots upon her:
Heres a health to the Duke and the Senate of Scotland, And to all Honest Men that from Bishops ner got land. Heres a health to LEstrange, and to boon Heraclitus, A fig for those Whigs that for Papists indict us; Not forgetting those that continually spight us, For Loyalty still to our King does unite us: Heres a health to our Church, and to all that are for it, A shame take all Papists and Whigs that abhor it; Safe may she be still from new ways of Refiners, And Justice be done to true Protestant Joyners. Let all the contrivers of this our late trouble, Have their reward at last heapd on them double; Heres a health to the downfall of those whose devotion, Does tend to nought else but to raise up commotion: Come round let it go boys, let each drink his Bumper, To all honest Men that yet ner lovd a Rumper: The thirtieth of January let us remember, And let it be joynd to the fifth of November. Heres a health to all Loyallists, let us carrouse it, For why there is wine to be had in the house yet: Heres to all those who yet never spoke evil Of Church or of State, but that still have been civil: Come let it go round boys, and fill up our Glasses, Wel now be more merry then Whigs with their Lasses Let Hipocrites who dare in all things dissemble, And by changing shapes the Camelian Resemble.
Make twenty wry faces, and all to disguise um, Yet from sedition none ere can advise um; Heres to the Confusion of Plots and all Plotters, And heres a good health to him that ner alters; Come let it go round and fill each man his brimmer, For hes no good diver that first ent a swimmer; And heres to our happiness that we see dawning, In spight of the Plots that Geneva is spawning. A Fig for their policies, they shall ner fright us, Do all what they can they shall never more bite us; For Oliver now and bold Bradshaw are rotten, Tho their curst names they shall ner be forgotten. Heres a health to all Cavaliers that ner were turn-coats, Wel drink it in spight of the Pope and his Cut-throats; Or in spight of those Rebels that envy our blessing, Who once more our Land would so fain be possessing. Heres a health to the Burghers who still in their choices, For eminent Loyalists do give their voices; And will not be Byasd whatever betide them, Who fear no Whig-Landlords who for it shall chide them: To the Prince and the Princess of Orange come fill it, To the brim let it flow, but beware how you spill it; Not forgetting the rest of the Royal Branches, Wel drink our brisk Wine till each his Soul drenches. Heres a health to all those that express their good meaning, And hold to the end as they make their beginning; Come fill it away Boys, and let us be merry, Wel drink each his Bumper, and never be weary: And no true Subject wer sure will deny it, For this is the way that we always shall try it; Come fill it again to the ruine of Rumpers, Ile make no scruple to turn off three Bumpers. Then come all you Loyalists though the Whigs mutter, And about nothing do keep all this clutter: In spight of the Pope or Jack Presbyter either, We will live merry, and will regard neither. Although they Tory or Tantivy name us, We care not a pin theres none honest will blame us: Wel drink to the King and his Lawful Successors, And to all those that prove Loyal Addressers.
