I. SEE the Vizors pulld off, and the Zelots are Arming, For our old Egypt-Plagues the Whig Locusts all Swarming. The true Protestant Perkin, in Lightning has spoke, And begins in a Flash to vanish in Smoke: Little Jemmys lanchd ore From the old Holland Shore, Where Shaftsbury marcht to the Devil before. The Old Games a beginning; for High-Shoes & Clowns Are turning State-Tinkers for mending of Crowns. II. Let his Desperate Frenzy to ruine spur on; The Rebel too late, and the Madman too soon. But politick Noddles without Wit or Reason, When empty of Brains have the more room for Treason. Ambition bewitches, Through Bogs and through Ditches, Like a Will with a Wisp: For the Bastard Blood itches: And the Bully sets up, with his High-Shoes and Clowns, A True Protestant Tinker for mending of Crowns. III. Let him banter Religion, that old Stale pretence, For Traytors to mount on the Neck of their Prince. But Clamor and Nonsence no longer shall fright us, Our Wits are restored by the flogging of Titus. Their Canting Delusion, And Bills of Exclusion, No longer shall sham the mad World to Confusion. The Old Cheats too gross, & no more Bores & Clowns For perching on Thrones, and prophaning of Crowns.
IV. So the Great Murderd Charles, our Church, Freedom and Laws, Were all Martyrs of old, to the Sanctified Cause. Whilst Gospel and Heavn were the popular Name, The Firebrands of Hell were all light from that Flame. Reformation once tuned, Let Religion but sound, When that Kirk Bagpipe plays all the Devils Dance round. But the Whining Tub Cheat shall no longer go down: No more Kings on Scaffolds, and Slaves on a Throne. V. Let his hot-braind Ambition, with his Renegade Loons, Mount the Son of the People, for Lord of Three Crowns; The Impostor on one hand, and Traytor on tother, Set up his false Title, as crackt as his Mother. But whilst Peacock-proud, He struts and talks loud, The Head of the Rabble, and Idol o th Crowd; From his false borrowd Plumes, & his hopes of a Crown, To his black Feet below, let th Aspirer look down. VI. Then let him march on with his Politick Poll, To perch up his Head by old Bradshaw and Noll: Whilst the Desperate Jehu is driving headlong, To visit the Reliques of Tommy Armstrong. For theres Vengeance a working, To give him a Jerking, And humble the Pride of the poor little Perkin. Great JAMES his dread Thunder shall th Idol pull down, Whilst our Hands, Hearts, and Swords are all true to the Crown.
