NOW, now is come the Glorious Year, When State-Betrayers only fear, And Britain's Sons in Smiles appear, While boundless Blessings wait her: For Royal GEORGE is on the Throne, Before the Nation's quite undone, Then, Lads, where-e're you see a Frown, Besure you see a Traytor. Not that a smiling Aspect can For certain prove an honest Man, Since those have Looks at most Command, Who act the vilest Part still. Did not L. Ox-----d smooth his Face, And laugh, as if in no Disgrace; Yet believe me Friend 'tis all Grimace, To keep the Foe in Heart still. Nay, with design to play this Game, The baffled Wretch to Greenwich came, (As if out of place, so free from Blame;) But let no Britain wonder: For Fate its Orders thus has laid, Whom it destroys, it first makes mad, Or a vile Blasphemer never had, Thus fac'd the rowling Thunder. His Friends indeed believ'd the Cheat, And fancy'd still to keep their State, As if a King would make them great, Who wish'd him never able: Or was it Satyr-like design'd To intimate the Monarch blind, Not wisely knowing Foe from Friend, Like Doctor Bungey's Rabble. But he has took away the Doubt, For Townsend's in, and Gambol out, And the whole French Party's put to Rout By a Hand that right dispenses. Nor past in Silence let it be, That Justice now once more can see, And in Conclusion, happily We all may find Five Senses. Now let all honest Britons joyn, And drink with grateful Hearts, as mine, To him who form'd the great Design, And sav'd us by his Merit. But who's this mighty, mighty he, Name Hallifax, and I'll agree, Who favour has found in our Deity, And been our Guardian Spirit. A Health to all, whom of his Grace, The King has chose to put in place, To save Britannia and her Race, From Dangers that beset her: Those that were in, did act so ill, To change for worse required Skill; But GEORGE has made it harder still To change these for the better.
