THE Year of Wonders is arrivd, The Devil has learnt to dance; The Church from Danger just retrievd By Help brought in from Fance. Natures run mad, and Madmen rule, The Worlds turnd upside down; Tumult puts in to keep the Peace, And Popery the Crown. In all the Ages of the World, Such Wonders nere were seen; Papists cry out for th English Church, And Rabbles for the Queen. The Pulpit thunders Death and War, To heal the Bleeding Nation; And sends Dissenters to the D--l. To keep the Tolleration. The High-Church Clergy mounted high, Like Sons of Jehu drive; And over True Religion ride, To keep the Church alive. The Furiosos of the Church Come foremost like the Wind; And Moderation, out of Breath, Comes trotting on behind. The Realm, from Danger to secure, To foreign Aid we cry; With Papists and Nonjurors join, To keep out Popery. King William on our Knees we curse, And damn the Revolution; And to preserve the Nations Peace, We study its Confusion. With Treacherous Heart and Double Tongue, Both Parties we adhere to; Pray for the Side we swear against, And curse the Side we swear to. To Heaven we for our Sovereign pray, And take the Abjuration; But take it Hocus Pocus way, With jugling Reservation. Sachevrell-like, with Double Face, We pray for our Defender; To good Queen Anne make Vile Grimace, But drink to the Pretender. With Presbyterians we unite, And Protestant Succession; But if the D....l came for both, Wed give him free possession. Our Scheme of Politicks is wise, Good L....d! that youd but read it; T pulls Marlbro down, to beat the French, And the Bank to keep our Credit. Because our Treasurer was just, And House of Commons hearty; And neither woud betray their Trust, Or sell us to a Party: Our Business is, that neither may Their Places long Abide in;
But get such chosen in their room, As no Man can confide in. Who shall deserve your mighty Praise For Fund, and eke for Loan; And may the Nations Credit raise, But never can their own: Because declaring Rights to reign, Our Parliaments have part in; Well have the Queen that Claim disown, For one thats more uncertain. The Restoration to make plain, That Perkin maynt miscarry, Weve wisely wheedld up the Queen To Right Hereditary. The Dignity of Parliaments, The stronger to imprint in s; We hug the Priest who they condemn, And ridicule their Sentence. In order to discurage Mobs, And keep the People quiet; The Rablers we condemn for Form, But not a Rogue shall die yet. The Duke of Marlborough to requite, For retrieveing English Honour; His D......ss shall have all the Spite That Fools can put upon her. For Battles fought, and Towns reducd And Popish Armies broken, And that our English Gratitude May t future times be spoken: While fighting for the Nation he Looks Danger in the Face, We strive t insult his Family, And Load him with Disgrace. Because hes crownd with Victory, And all the people love him; We hate the Man for the Success, And therefore will remove him. And now were stirring up the Mob Against a new Election, That High-Church Members may be chose By our most wise Direction. That Queens may Parliaments Dissolve, No doubt tis right and just; But we have found it out that now, Because she may, she must. The Bankrupt Nation to restore, And pay the Millions lent; Well at one dash wipe out the Score, With Spunge of Parliament. Then we can carry on the War, With neither Fund or Debt; And Banks shall eat us up no more, Upon pretence of Credit. If not, well close with Terms of Peace Prescribd by France and Rome; That War, being huddled up Abroad, May then break out at Home.
