I. COme Beat Alarum, Sound a Charge, As well without as in the Verge, Let every Sword and Soul be large, To make our Monarch Shine Boyes: Let's leave off Whores and Drunken Souls, And windy words o're briming Bowls; Let English Hearts exceed the Poles, Perkin, King in Lyme Boyes. II. Such a Fop-King was ne're before Is Landed on our Western shore, Which our black Saints do all adore, Inspir'd by Tub-Divine Boyes: Let us assume the Souls of Mars, And March in Order, Foot and Horse, Pull down the Standard at the Cross, Of Perkin King in Lyme Boyes. III. Pretended Son unto a King, Subject of Delights in Sin, The most ungrateful Wretch of Men, Dishonor to the Shrine Boyes; Of Charles and James, the undoubted Right Of Englands Crown and Honours Bright, While he can find us work, let's Fight, Perkin, King in Lyme Boyes. IV. The Sainted Sisters now looks Blew, Their Cants all False if God be True, Their Teaching Stallions dare not do, No more but Squeeze and Whine Boyes;
Exhorting all the Clowns to Fight Against their God, King, Church and Right, Takes Care, for all their Wives at Night, For Perkin, King in Lyme Boyes. V. Poor Perkin now, he is no more, But James Scot, as he was before; No Honour left but Soul to soar, Till quite expir'd with time Boyes But first he'l call his Parliament, By Ferguson and Gray's Consent, Trenchard and all the Boars in's Tent, Fit for the King in Lyme Boyes. VI. 'Gainst these mock Kings, each draw his Sword In Blood we'll print them on Record, Traytors against their Sovereign Lord, Let's always Fight and joyn Boyes, Now they'r Block'd up by Sea and Land, By Treason they must fall or stand, We only wait the Kings Command, To Burn the Rogues in Lyme Boyes. VII. But now we hear they'r sallied forth, Front and Flank 'em, South and North, Nobles of brave Englands Worth, Let your bright Honours shine Boys; Let Guns and Cannons Roar and Ring, The Musique of a Warlike King, And all the Gods just Conquest bring, Against the Rogues in Lyme Boyes.
