I. LOyaltys a Noble thing, Service done unto a King, Honour, and Reward doth bring, And flys up to Promotion; Treason is a trick of State, Which the Devil makes a bait, To a proud aspiring Pait, To overturn a Nation. II. I never knew (since time began) An open Rogue, and great Trapan Turn a True, and Faithful Man To GOD, or yet be Loyal. He who to a KING thats brave Proves a false deceitful Knave Is Seditions simple Slave, Be true to JAMES the Royal. III. Newgate Traytour tell me now, What turns all thy Projects too? And Exploits thou thought to do Against the Lords Anointed, Rebels that the Nation hate Must submit to Divine Fate Which Ruleth both the Church & State, And runs as GOD appointed. IV. Ner was KING of more Renown, Then Great James that wears the Crown; Rebels Names he doth write down, Until he be at leasure. Loyalists he doth requite, Gratitude is his delight, But the Rascal Rout doth slight: Hes just as was Old Caesar. V. When Hogan Mogan did disdain To take on Brittains Yoak again, He led the Fleet unto the Main, And bravely did behave him.
When Brains and Bullets fled about, He provd himself both wise, and stout; And cryd, Lets have the other bout, We will both Fight and Slave them. VI. He is the First Rate-Sovereign Blood, Laden with the Kingdoms good, Tossd betwixt the Wind and Flood, When providence ensureth. Though the Church Religious Vail Were made Treasons highest Sail The hope of Hypocrites would fail, For Truth alone endureth. VII. Heap me a rousing Glass with Wine, Let no Man at this Health repine, To JAMES the great Ill drink off mine, He knows both Sword and Scepter. Wen Madness did make Brittain dance The Tragedy of base Mischance His Practice did his Parts enhance, And was compleat still after. VIII. Honest Fellow live content, Kindly take what GOD hath sent, Think what way to pay thy Rent, And strive to flye no higher. Hes a Fool (at any rate) Medlth with Affairs of State; Hell repent when tis too late, And say that Im no Lyar. IX. Fear the LORD, Honour the KING, Submit to Fate in (every thing) Do thy business and sing, And never think on sorrow. In private Eat thy Hony Comb, Kiss thy Wife when thourt at home; Never think on what may come, For none hath seen to Morrow.
