ALas! What Times are those were like to see, When Men are stigmatizd for LOYALTY; And called Tivies, Tories, and what not, And worse abusd than those concernd Ith PLOT? And we Poor Prentices, how were abusd, Because to side with Faction we refusd: Had we with Clubs and Staves run to Whitehall, And there demanded Things Irrational: Run into Churches, and tore Common-Prayers, Pulld out the Good old Bishops by the Ears, And rent the Surplices, those decent Wares; Revivd but Forty One again; O then, Instead of VERMIN, wed been Gentlemen! But hold Impartial, We are not so mad For to displease our KING, to make thee glad; I know full well thats it thoudst have Us do, But know dull Ass, well not be advisd by you. Thou simple Sot, the very worst of Fools, Dost think to make UsForty One Tools; By Publishing thy damnd fallacious Stories, To asperse those Loyal Men, whom thou callst Tories? Who can expect peaceable Times to see, Whilst thou art thus fomenting Enmity? And is this the way t Extirpate the Pope: Judge now thy self if thou dont merit R..... But on, thou damnd Incendiary, Print what you will, We London APPRENTICES will be Loyal still: We ever lovd our KING, and ever shall; And for his Service, our Lives and Fortunes all Doth lye prepard, whilst he has need to call. In the mean time We Apprentices will Sing, And clap our Hands, and say, God save our King.
