I. ROwze up Great MONARCH In the Royal Cause; The Great Defender Of our Faith and Laws: Now, now, or never, Crush the Serpent's Head, Or else the Poyson Through the Land will spread. The Noble MAYOR, And his two Loyal SHRIEVES, Bearing the Sword's, assaulted By Usurping Thieves, Who their Rebellious Ryots Would maintain by Law: Oh! London! London! Where's Thy Justice now? II. Smite, smite, the Snakes Did first their Sting reveal, Stabbing thy ROYAL BROTHER in the Heel; And struck so many Loyal Martyr's dead, Now in the Sun Flies boldly at the Head. Slaves that resist All Power but their own; He that would usurp the CHAIR, Would next usurp the THRONE, Who neither ROYAL HEIR Nor LOYAL MAYORS allow: Oh! London! London! Where's thy Charter now? III. LONDON, of Faction's The eternal Spring, Yet so much favour'd By a Gracious KING; Who dost such Deeds That have no parallel, Only to teach Thy Children to Rebel.
This will record thee In the Books of Fame; This bold Attempt no Law, Nor Precedent can claim: Blood and the Crown, P---n And D---s out-do: Oh! London! London! Where's Thy Charter now? IV. Was this the way Your Ryots to repair; In spight o'th CHARTER. To Arrest the MAYOR? And 'gainst the SHERIFFS Your sham Actions bring, 'Cause justly chosen, And approv'd by th' KING? What call you this, but TREASON? Whilst the Fool That did Arrest the MAYOR Expects himself to Rule; And, save his own, no other Power would allow: Oh! London! London! Where's thy Charter now? V. Hang up the Factious Heads That dare oppose The Sword of Justice, And the Ancient Laws: Who in his Office Dare Arrest the MAYOR, Disowns the Pow'r That plac'd Him in the Chair. Tantara-ra-ra! Let the Trumpets sound, Double all your Guards, and let The Cent'nels stand their ground: He that Arrests the MAYOR, Would bind the MONARCH too: Oh! London! London! Where's Thy Charter now?
Westminster Printed in the Year MDCLXXXIII.
