First Ayr. The Jews Corant. LEt's call and drink the Cellar dry, There's nothing sober underneath the sky The greatest Kingdoms in confusion lye, Since all the world grow mad, why may not I? my Fathers dead, and I am free he left no children in the world but me. the Divel drank him down with usury and Ile repine in liberality. When first the English war began He was precisely a politick man, That gain'd his state by Sequestration till Oliver began to come with sword inhand and put him to the run Then jovial Lads who are undone So by the Father come home to the Son, Whom wine and musick now do wait upon he'l tipple up a tun, and drink your woes away, jolly hearts come on come on
Second Ayr. Princess Royal. Here's a health to him that may do a trick that shall advance you all And beget a very jovial day. Fill another bowl to hee who hath drank by stealth his Landlords health If his spirit and his tongue agree the Land shall celebrate his fame, all the world enbalm his name, not a right good fellow, but will satisfie the same. The bells full merrily shall ring All the town shall dance and sing more delights then I can tell ye When we see this noble Spring, wee'l have Ladies by the belly and snatch at at o'ther thing.
The third Ayer. Come hither my own sweet Duck. WEe's aw be merry and jolly, quaff carouse and reel Wee's play with Peggy and Molly dance, and kiss, and feell, Wee's put up the Bag-pipe & Organ, and make the Welch Harper to play, Till Mauris ap Shon ap Morgan fisk as on St. Taffies day. Hold up Jinny- Piper come play us up a Spring all you that bare musick in ye Tipple, dance, and sing. Fourth Ayer. French Tricatees. Let de French Mounseiur come and swear Begar Mounseiur, Dis is de ting vee long to hear So many a year, Dancing vill be lookt upon, Now de man of Yron is gone, Me glad his dancing day be done. When de flower de luces grows With de Enlish Crown and Rose Dat's very good as we suppose De French can live without de nose,
Fifth Ayr. French Tricatees. Spain and England then, like men, Shall love and make a League agen, Holland Boors shall quaff, and laugh, Poor Irish swim in Usquebaugh, James and Jinnikin touch the Minnikin Drink till all the Sky look blew, by this sweet change Wonders shall ensue. almost as strange As Scotland to be true. Sixth Ayr. A new Country-dance, No Drayman shall with his dul feet appear Lord in the Common-weal, Or Jesuite in the Pulpit appear; under a Cloak of zeal Mucician never be noted for wandring men of ease, But they shall be finely Coated & permitted to sing what they please If all things do but hit well as who knows but so t'may be, Though now you be very zealous then you'l laugh and be merry as we
