I. BRead of Geud! I think the Nation's mad, And nene but Knaves and perjur'd Loons do rule the Rost; And for an honest Karl ne living's to be had, Why sure the Deel is landed on the English Coast. I ha' ne'r been here sin' Forty Three, And now thro' Scotland gang, to'l see our Gracious KING; But, wunds of Geud! instead of Mirth and Merry-glee, I find aud sniv'ling Presbyter is coming in. II. For they talk of horrid Popish-Plots, and Heav'n knows what, When all the wiser World knows well what they'd be at; For with sike like seeming Sanctity the geudest KING They did to Death and Ruine bring. When on the Civil-Broils they first did enter in, (As well ye ken) with Popery they did begin: And with Liberty and Publick Geud was muckle din, When the Deel a bit they meant the Thing. III. That Machine of monstrous Policy, Ise mean old S---------y, for Loyalty so fam'd: The voice of au the Geudly Rabble Mobile, The fausest Loon that ever Envy destin'd Damn'd. Heav'n sure never meant so fau a thing, But to inform th[e] World where Villainy did dwell: And like a Tray[t]or beuth to Commonwealth and KING The muckl[e] Deel did surely never hatch in Hell. IV. For, like Roman Cataline, to gain his Pious Ends, He [p]imps for au the loose Rebellious Fops in Toon: And with Treats and Treason daily crams his City-Friends, From the Link-man to the Scarlet-Goon. And with high Debauchery they carry on the CAUSE, And Geudly Reformation is the Sham-pretence: And Religiously defie Divine and Humane Laws, With Obedience to their Rightful Prince.
V. Then, as SPEAKER to this Grand Cabal, Old Envy Toney, seated at the head o'th' Board, His learn'd Oration for Rebellion makes to All, Applauded and approv'd by ev'ry Factious LORD. Cully JEMMY then they vote for KING, Whom Curse confound for being sike a senseless Loon: Can they who did their Lawful Lord to th' Scaffold bring Be just to Him, that has no Title to the Croon? VI. But they find he's a Blockhead fitted for their Use, A FOOL by Nature, and a KNAVE by Custom grown A Gay Fop-Monarch, whom the Rabble may abuse, And, their buis'ness done, will soon Unthrone. But Jemmy swears and vows, gan he can get the Croon, He by the Laws of Forty Ene will guided be: And Prophane Lawn-sleeves and Surplices again must doon, Then hey for aud PRESBYTERY. VII. B------m a States-man would be thought, And reason geud that he should bear that Rev'rend Na[me;] Since he was ene of them that first began the PLOT, How he the King might Banter, and Three Kingdoms Sha[m.] Au the Male-Contents His Noble Grace To this Rehearsal did invite, to hear and see: But whil'st he wittily contriv'd it but a Farce, The busier Noddles turn'd it into Tragedy. VIII. And now each Actor does begin to play his Part, And too so well he cons his Geer, and takes his Cue, Till they learn to play the Rebel so by rote of heart, That the Fictitious Story seems as True. And now, without controll, they apprehend and hang, And with the Nation au is Gospel that they swear: Then, bonny Jockey, prithee back to'l Scotland gang, For a Loyal Lad's in danger here.
