THE Old Whiggish Sages, we plainly do see, Who sat at the Helm of the late Ministry, Contriving, consulting, and studying the means Of being most false to the best of all Queens, The speedy subversion of th' establisht Church, And leaving the State too soon in the lurch; Till they had abolisht the Mitre and Crown, And pull'd, as in Forty-One, Monarchy down, Knew nothing at all, when we shou'd have Peace, Because the long War they'd not have to cease, For so long as the Bank they had in their Hands, They strove to be Masters of all the Church Lands, And then for advancing the Antient, good Cause, They'd trampled on Equity, Justice, and Laws. 'Tis true, when we did Doway besiege, With specious Pretences, they seem'd to oblige The People, with hopes of bringing an End To the War, but being too much the good Friend Of Lewis, the projects which then were projected At Gertruydenberg, were quickly neglected, And slighted by that Tyrannical Don, Who owned King William, to settle the Son Of Dauphine, with speed in the Kingdom of Spain, Then Peace into War he changed again. But now since P--------r has ben at Versailles, The Town's alarm'd again with peaceful Tales, Which makes each Coffee-house not to refuse To eccho Jo Paean at the News; And praise the Arm that conquer'd, to regain The Earth's Repose, and Empire o'er the Main: Nay, some already the Proposals Print, Whether there's any Thing, or nothing in't; Whilst others do the Articles recite, Say Dunkirk now must be demolisht quite, And Cales surrender'd to the English strait, T' avoid the farther Loss by Bloody Fate, I'm sensible that all true Englishmen Do long to see the Face of Peace agen, And have no Foreign Wars our Bliss oppose, But when 'twill be, The Lord of Oxford knows.
