I. HArk, I hear the Trumpets sound, The Loyal Joys and Shouts go round; Whilst th' Echoing Hills and Dales rebound, The Whiggs are all surrounded. At Joves dread Thunder, Jamess Frown, Behold the Foes of Church and Crown; Th' old Rebel Gyants tumbling down, To Death and Hell Confounded. II. Argyle and Rumbolds Loosing Chance Began to lead the solemn Dance: And Monmouths Fate does next advance, To fill the fatal Chorus. Their mounted Heads begin to make Our baffled Hero's Courage quake, And the Good Old Cause a tottering shake; For Jamess Sword's Victorious. III. Come ye great Phanatick Dons, Welcome all my Tyburn Sons; Whilst the bending Gibbet groans With loads of Whiggs all round her: And th' Imperial Tonys Ghost, Lord of all the Stygian Coast, Salutes the vast descending Host; The mighty Whigland-Founder.
IV. No more that little Crop-ear'd Saint, Fergusons Tub-Gospel Cant Shall th' aspiring Fop Enchant, And make dull fools adore him. Great James, in spight of Scotch Kirk Loons, The feeble Rumbold Musquetoons, And all the Zealous Taunton Clowns, Shall drive the World before him. V. Rampant Zeal's forever tamed, The Tecklite Reformation shamm'd, The Presbyter-Turk, and Devil damn'd, And the long charm all ended. Quench'd are now th' Infernal brands, Whilst safe from Impious Rebel Hands, Great Jamess Life and Empire stands, By Angel Guards defended. VI. Then our Fears and Sorrows drown'd, Let the Jocund Bowls go round, With Royal Caesars Health all Crown'd, And farewel all Delusion. To the sanctified True-Blue, That Hypocrite, false, pretending Crew; To give the Rebel Devil his due, Perdition and Confusion.
