1. LEt's Joy in the Medal with James the IIId's Face, And the Advocates that Pleaded for him; Tho' the Nation Renounces the whole Popish Race, Great Lewis of France will Restore him. La, la, etc. 2. Health to the New Coll'nels and Captains so Pritty, With S-------lk and the rest of the Train, Sir, Who Play'd thro' the City, the High-Church-Mens Ditty, The King shall his own have again, Sir. La, la, etc. 3. What tho' we did Swear, to the Protestant Heir, And roundly Abjur'd the Pretender; Our Oaths must give place, to the True Royal Race, Or our High-Faith will want a Defender. La, la, etc. 4. Who wou'd not rejoyce at a Turn of the State, Which Rescu'd our Old Constitution? From that Happy Period, we joyfully Date The Fall of the Curs'd Revolution. La, la, etc. 5. To begin with Resistance, Sachev'rel did say, the Doctrine of Devils, and Hell, Sir; But Passive-Obedience does now bear the Sway, As the Wise I------sh Bishops can tell, Sir. La, la, etc. 6. Hereditary Right, which sav'd James the Just, From the Damnable Bill of Exclusion; Will bring in his Son, as High Church Men do trust, To the Hannover-Houses Confusion. La, la, etc. 7. And to shew that the Jacobite Interest rises, To High-Churchmens great Consolation, The Pretenders Medals do bear double Prizes, And his Friends are in high Reputation. La, la, etc. 8. While thus our Brave Priesthood with vigilant Care, Our Factions and Ferments do Nourish; Old Lewis is sure to succeed in the War, And his Grandsons Scepter must Flourish. La, la, etc. 9. The Dutch shall be Ruin'd, the Whiggs shall be Damn'd, And Austrias House be Confounded; The Gauls shall Rejoyce, while our Allies are Shamm'd, And our Quarrels with France are Compounded. La, la, etc. 10. Now Pr------r, and M------r. with Pistoles in great store, From France are Arrived at Dover; And ABEL may Roar, 'till his Lungs are quite Sore, That there can be no need of Hanover. La, la, etc. 11. Great Treaties like ours, must infallibly bear, Since the Persons Employ'd, are so Able; Tho' one was a Drawer, and t' other, some Swear Was the Politick Groom of a Stable. La, la, etc.
12. Yet they're guided by one, who is very well known, And a thorow pac'd Statesman is reckon'd; In the Rad------r Address the Whiggs he knock'd down, With the 12th of King Charles the Second. La, la, etc. 13. Thus bravely he Fights their Lewd Bill of Rights, And baffles their Damn'd Revolution; By Statutes Repeal'd, Non-Resistance he heal'd, And to High-Church he gave Absolution. La, la, etc. 14. Wide open to all a Subscription Book stands, With some Advocates at Edin---borow; Where Perkins true Friends do set to their Hands, If he'll come, they'll receive him to Morrow. La, la, etc. 15. Good Mr. Dundass, has giv'n him a Pass, The Kingdom of Scotland to enter; And the Dutchess of Gordon, that brave Popish Lass, does Swear by the Mass, He may venture. La, la, etc. 16. By such Great Examples, all People will find That the Jacobites are in no Peril For the Prince at St. Germains, to speak out their Mind, Or to Drink a Full Bumper to Sorrel. La, la, etc. 17. Thus Lesley, and Hicks, with their Politick Tricks, Have gain'd on the Sense of the Nation; The Dissenters are troubled, to find themselves bubbled, For Indulgence is no Toleration. La, la, etc. 18. Their Barns are burnt down, and their Teachers are Damn'd For Preaching in Tubs without Orders; The Silly Low-Church, will be left in the Lurch, And the Scotch Kirk drove out of our Borders. La, la, etc. 19. Let Schismaticks Pine, let Republicans Wine, And henceforth abandon these Nations; While Tories Rejoyce, and cry with one Voice, Obedience without Limitations. La, la, etc. 20. Let our Trade go to Wreck, and all our Stocks Sink, While our High-Church Rides safe from all Danger; Since Lands above Money, we have reason to think The QUEENs-Brother will Conquer the Stranger. La, la, etc. 21. Let the Whigs that love Trade, the South-Seas Invade, And there we will give 'em Debentures; For the Money they've Lent, 'till the whole Sum be spent, And a Spunge wipe out all their Adventures. La, la, etc. 22. They shall have for Director, their German Elector, Who certainly will not Play Booty; He's too much in the Stock, the Project to Shock, Good PRINCESS SOPHIA Adieu t' ye. La, la, etc.
Oxford, at the Theatre. M.DCC.XI.
