LAment you Whiggs, you Presbyter Priggs, Your Godfather Tony is dead: Let Titus now, for Holland go, 'tis time that he was fled.
Let Waller, Prance, and Pilkinton dance With all the Shreeval Knot, For the Devil hath stollen the Tapp away And the Cask it is quite run out. Let Quaking Jack, make up his pack And to Pensilvania hye, And the Sisterhood, with all the brood Who Rail 'gainst Monarchy: For the Politick pate, once Member of state Is vanquished without doubt, Old Nick he hath stolen the Tap away And the Cask it is quite run out. Association once in fashion May be again preferred No Ignoramus, more shall sham us Tony is now interred: His rotten Cask is laid in clay Sedition under ground For the Devil hath hid the Tap away Where 'twill no more be found. Sallamank Doctor, hast to the Proctor Thou art left his Heir
Search thou his Will, find some new Bill That you afresh may swear, Find some new trick, to save thy neck For all your Plots are found The Devil hath stollen the Tap away And buried the Cask in the ground. Think of your Lies, false Perjuries, Swore 'gainst Prince and Peers, Your damn'd deceipts, and Wapping cheats Set the Nation by the Ears Oh now prepare, avoid a snare Least thou art ketcht in the Pound For the Devil hath stollen the Tap away And layd the Cask underground. Repent Whigs all, you down must fall And Loyal boyes must rise, May all that plots, be hang'd in knots Who do their King despise A health to the King, brave Albony And his Consort in the bed Then let us rejoyce and merrily sing Hey boyes the Devil's dead.
