The Coat of Arms of N.T. J.F. & R.L.
An Answer to Thomsons Ballad calld The Loyal Feast.

A True Blue Protestant will never stain
His good profession, for the hopes of gain:
Most Loyal thou dost call them, and sayst true,
For theyre no such dissembling Knaves as you.
The Whigs from North to South, from West to East
Did all contribute to a Loyal Feast,
To shew their hatred to the Roman Beast.
Eight Hundred Guineys were laid up in store,
There would have been at least as many more,
Such hatred we do bear the Roman Whore.

This Feast was thrown aside, and nought but reason:
Some did surmise a new Gun-Powder Treason,
That coud not be supposd, for our good King,
Doth hide his Parliaments beneath his wing:
He will not let them meet in any place,
For fear of mischief from the Roman Race.

Let this be Sung to what tune Thomson
pleases, but let the rest be to his own Tune,
Sawny will nere be my Love again.

Tory is small and of no good race,
And is belovd by very few;
He broaches his Shams in ery place,
And that in time I hope hel rue.
He sends to Yeoman, Lord and Knight,
His Roguish tricks to entertain:
But Toryl be hangd, if he has but his right,
Then Tory shall nere be my Love again.

He sends to the Devil for Plots good store,
And they too oft do come to Town:
His Tap doth run for the Roman Whore;
The True Blue Protestants to drown.
He sends to Rome, and France, and Spain,
To all the Papists in the Land,
That they may bring in Plots amain.
And Tory shall nere be my Love again.

At some great Houses in this Town,
Tory did meet with a Jovial Crew,
Of Traytrous Lords of high renown,
Not one a Protestant True Blue.
They threw in heeps of yellow boys,
The damd Sham Plots for to maintain.
Old Rowly their Treason now destroys,
And Tory shall nere be my Love again.

They all owd duty to their Prince,
And Loyal Subjects should have been:

But their duty was all worn out long since,
By their Plots we have too plainly seen.
From Church to Chappel they did go,
Their Popish guests to entertain,
They sought to kill us at one blow,
Now Tory sholl nere be my Love again.

The Duke They Love, but not the King,
Can any tell a reson why,
Can any tale or tydings bring,
Why they should raise the Duke so high?
Theyd Crown him if they might have leave,
And our good King they would have slain:
These things do make the Nation grieve:
And Tory shall nere be my Love again.

The bloody Papists shall no more,
Contrive against Great Charles his Reign;
Though they have done it oft before,
We will not let them dot again:
Give them an inch theyle take an ell;
To work his ruine theyre in pain,
Their bloody actions comes from Hell,
And Tory shall nere be my Love again.

A True Blue Protestant will pray,
That Heavn would still protect the King:
And I am sure theyl all give way,
For a Popish--- to take a Swing:
But he that hopes Popes here shall sit,
And Protestants shall all be slain:
I hope his hopes will be besh---
And Tory shall nere be my Love again.

Fat Capons then shall fly about,
With Frigacees of Ambergreece,
When we the Popish Tribe do Rout,
And do enjoy our happy Peace,
That Council shall not have a bit,
That did our Peace so long restrain.
Nor Popish Nat shall not lick the spit,
No nor Tory shall nere be my Love again.

Le Strange that Monckish Scribling Fopp,
That has abusd the Kingdom so,
Shall starve before he gets a Sop;
For hes a Tory Curr we know.
A Priest shall feed upon a Pope,
Till all the Tory Tribe are slain,
Then we shall have our Peace I hope,
And Tory shall nere be my Love again.
