1. NOw High-Church rejoyce at this turn of the State, Which rescu'd from V------s the Nation; From the Year before this we ever may date, The Glory of new Reformation. 2. The Bank we don't value so much as the M------r, Who for the late Ministry stickled, 'Tis Int'rest enough when High-Church now dare Scorn R------s in sawciness pickled. 3. The Faction you talk of was made by the Wh---gs, Whose Deeds extrinsick were ever; And tho' a Pit for the Church each Fanatick digs, Its Downfal here will be never. 4. We know of no Hogs, except S---m the S---, Which at present disgruntles the Nation, Sacheverell we thank for the most happy Lott Of having this Administration. 5. Our States-men with vigilent Care do their best To bring the War to a Conclusion; The Taxes they raise, will soon make us blest, To the Low-Fliers speedy Confusion. 6. In the two Million Lott'ry no Person's compell'd To venture by Force (Sir) a shilling, For the Government being not arbitrary held, Each subject may do as he's willing. 7. Now Accompts will be better made than before, When thirty five Millions was wanting; For the Low-Church shall finger our Money no more, Nor will we be fool'd by their Canting. 8. Great Oxford and Mortimer Loyalty shews Unto Her Majesty treble; And he who not to Her Allegiance owes, May he quickly go to the D---l. 9. The Door is now open'd, and not shut at all, As when ye hatched strange Factions, So timely the Court ordained your Fall, As seeing your horrid Transactions. 10. Earl Rivers his Duty has Loyally done, For Anne our Faith's true Defender; Whose Right both Succession and Parliament own, In spight of the foolish Pretender.
11. Ne'er fear but our Rulers so watchful will be, That Perkin, that Son of a W------e, Sir, They'll stretch at full length on the Tripple-Tree, Whene'er he comes here ashore, Sir. 12. Had Peterbrough still been in Spain, his bright Sword Wou'd Anjou make cry Peccavi; And his Valour, none questions, might bravely afford Good Conduct too in our Navy. 13. Our Trade in the South-Seas will bring us in Gain, Most pleasing unto the Nation; And what still add Glory to th' auspicious Reign, better our Navigation. 14. Our Sea-men, where-ever they be, do not fear Their Pay, for Pay they don't grumble; And when the starv'd Squadrons of Lewis appear, To fight the French Dogs they don't mumble. 15. The Schemes which of late were by Oxford contriv'd, And still his great Wisdom's pursuing, Shew plainly both Church and State are long-liv'd, For Britain this Good he is doing. 16. As for the Examiner we do not care, He's an Author as factious as Tutchin, Or Daniel de Foe, who'll Loyalty dare, To have a Blot in his Scutcheon. 17. Not publick or private is there any Debt, But what Her Majesty payeth, So for her long Life, to reign over us, Each Subject heartily prayeth. 18. Our National Debts will be all clear'd in Time, Without going to any Stock-Jobbers, Who not only here, but in a different Clime, Are look'd on worser than Robbers. 19. So doubting not of quelling old Lewis and Spain, Which to Charles by our Arms will be given; To Anne our good Soverign sing, Vive la Reine, Whose Fame do's eccho to Heaven.
