[1] A Pox on Whigs wel now grow wise Lets cry out guard the Throne, By that wel damn the Good Old Cause And make the Game our own Religion, that shall stoop to us, and so shall Liberty, Wel make their Laws as thin as Lawn, such Tory Rogues are we. [2] When once that Preaching Whineing Crew are crushd and quite undone, The Poor wel banish by our Laws, and all the rest wel burn. Then Abbey-Lands shall be possest by those whose Right they be, Wel cry up Laws, but none wel use, such Tory Rogues are we. [3] The Name of Protestant we hate, the Whigs they know it well, And since we cant it longer hide lets Truth genteely tell. Now Dam me is good Manners grown, and tends to Gallantry, Wel S--- the Nation out of Doors, such cursed Rogues are we. [4] What care we for a Parliament, no Money comes from thence, Would they but give us Coyn enough, wed spend the Nations pence. These two-penny States-men all shall down, a glorious sight to see, To finish all wel plunder um too, such Sons of Whores are we. [5] Wel build more Universities, for there lies all our hope, And to th Crape Gown wel cringe & creep supposing twere a Pope; Say what he will wel him believe, if true or false it be, And while he prays wel Drink his Health, such Tory Rogues are we.
[6] What pimping Whig shall dare controule, or check the lawfull Heir, Wel take the Rascall by the Pole, and Pox of all his Hair. Then here goes honest Jamess Health, come drink it on your Knee, Dzowns wel have none but honest souls, such Tory Rogues as we. [7] These Crafty Whigs are subtle Knaves to give um all their due, And yet we baukd the Popish Plot, though they had sworn it true. For this you know who we may thank, But Mum for that, yet we Are bound to pray and praise him fort, such Tory Rogues are we. [8] When all these zealous Whigs are down, wel drink and fall a roaring, And then set up the Tripple Crown, twill Saint us all for whoreing. When we have quite inslavd um all, our selves cannot be free. Then prithee Devil claim thy own, for hey to Hell go we. [9] Wel chuse their Sheriffs and Juries too and then pretend tis Law, Wel bring more Irish ore to swear gainst those they never saw: Wel seize their Charters, then they must come beg um on their Knee, If this wont do wel call the French, such cursed Rogues are we.
