[1.] SInce Plottings a Trade, Like the rest of the Nation: Let em Lie, and Swear on, To keep up the Vocation; Let Tinkers, and Weavers, And Joyners agree, To find work for the Cooper, Theyl have none of me; Let Politick Shams, In the States-man abound, While we quaff our Bumpers, And set the Glass round: The jolly true Topers The best Subject still, Who drinks off his Liquor, And thinks no more ill. [2.] Then let us stand tot, And like honest Men fall, Who love King and Country, Duke, Dutchess and all; Not such as woud blow up The Nation by stealth, And out of the flame Raise a new Common-wealth: Nor such, who against Church And Bishops do rage, To advance old Jack Presbyter, On the new Stage. But to all honest Tories, Whol fight for their King, And to Crown the brave Work, With the Court weel begin. [3.] Heres a Health to the King, And his Lawful Successors, To honest Tantivies, And Loyal Addressors; But a pox take all those, That promoted Petitions To Poyson the Nation, And stir up Seditions; Heres a Health to the Queen, And her Ladies of Honour, And a pox take all those, That put Sham-Plots upon her. Heres a Health to the Duke, And the Senate of Scotland, To all honest Men, That from Bishops nere got-Land.
[4.] Heres a Health to Lestrange, And the boon Heraclitus: With true Tory Thompson Who never did slight us; But confounding Broom, Paulin, And Alderman Wrightus, With Tony and Bethel, Ignoramus, and Titus: Heres a Health to the Church, And all those that are for it, Gonfusion to Zealots, And Whigs that abhor it; May it ever be safe, From the new mode Refiners And Justice be done Upon Coopers and Joyners. [5.] Heres a Health to old Hall------, Who our joys did restore; And pox take each Popular Son of a Whore; To the Spaniard and Dane, The brave Russian and Moor, Who come from far Nations, Our King to adore; To all that do Worship, The God of the Vine, And to old Jolly Bowman Who draws us good Wine; And as for all Traytors, Whether Baptist or Whig, May they all trot to Tyburn, To dance the old Jig. [6.] Heres a Health to all those, Love the King and his Laws, And may th[e]y near Pledge it That Broach the Old Cause. Heres a Health to the State, And a Plague on the Pack Of Common-wealth Canters And Presbyter Jack; To the uppermost pendent That ever did play On the highest Top-gallant Oth Soveraign oth Sea; And he that denies, To the Standard to lore, May he sink in the Ocean, And never Drink more.
