[1] YOung Jemmy is a Lad Thats Royally descended; With every Virtue clad, By every Tongue commended: A true and faithful English Heart; Great Brittains Joy and Hope, And bravely will maintain their Part, In spight of Turk and Pope. [2] Young Jemmy is a Lad That hates all base Pretences; No Tory Masquerade, With Popish Sham-Pretences; A Heart and Soul so Great and Just, Such Conduct and Command; A Champion in his Countries Trust, Young Jemmy still will stand. [3] [Y]oung Jemmy is a Youth, Who thinks it no Transgression To stand up for the Truth And Protestant Profession; [B]ut Oh! He fights with such Success, All Mortal Powers obey; No God of War but must confess Young Jemmy bears the sway. [4] [A]t Jemmys powerful Voice The Drums and Trumpets sounded; [A]nd England did rejoyce When Jemmys Fame abounded. Of Jemmy the victorious Name Did through all Europe flie, [A]nd all the Nations did proclaim His matchless Gallantry. [5] [I]n Mastricht and in France, In Germany and Flanders, [Y]oung Jemmy did advance Amongst the Chief Commanders: [B]y Sea and Land his Fame did flie, And all the Nations round Of Jemmys Constant Victory And Valour did resound.
[9] In Scotland Jemmys Hand Dispersd the Whig and Tory; And Bothwel-Bridge will stand To his Eternal Glory: There he the Rebels Force withstood, And did Their Might oppose, Both for the King and Countries Good, In spight of all his Foes. [7] But Oh! unhappy Fates! A Curse on Pride and Malice; The Popish Plotting-States Have banishd him the Palice: They turnd him out of Grace of late, Of Dignity and Fame, And every mighty Place of State, Yet Jemmys still the same. [8] Maliciously they Plot (Against all Sense and Reason) Gainst Shaftsbury and Scot, To Cloak their Popish Treason: Tories and Papists all agree To blast his spotless Fame; But, spight of all their Policy, Young Jemmys still the same. [9] For, still to lose his Bloud Young Jemmy does importune, And for his Countreys Good To spend his Life and Fortune, For to support the Church and State, Our Liberties and Laws, Against their Malice, Plots and Hate That woud our Rights oppose. [10] Let all good men implore For Jemmys Restauration, Whose Conduct must restore The Ruins of our Nation; That he to Charless Praise may live Our Freedom to maintain, When Jemmy shall his Fame retrieve, And be in Grace again.
