BRead of Geud! I think the Nation's mad, And nene but Knaves and P[erjur'd Loon]s do rule the Roast; And for an Honest Karl ne Living's to be had; Why sure the Deel is Landed on the [English Co]ast. I ha' ne'r been here sin' Forty Three, And now thro' Scotland gang to'l see our Gracious King; But W[u]nds [a Geud, ins]tead of Mirth and Mery Glee, I find aud Sniveling Presbyter is coming in.
[2] 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 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. [3] That Machine of Monstrous Policy, I mean old S------ for Loyalty so fam'd; The voice of all the Geudly Rabble Mobile, The falsest Loon that ever Envy destin'd Damn'd. Heav'n sure never meant so fou a Thing, But to inform the World where Villany did dwell: And sike a Traytor both to Commonwealth and KING The muckle Deel did surely never hatch in Hell. [4] For, like Roman Cataline, to gain his Pious Ends, He pimps for all 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. [5] Then a SPEAKER to this Grand Cabal, Old Envy Tony 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 K]ING, Whom Cu[confound for being] sike a senseless Loon, Can they who did the[ir Lawfu]l Lord to th' Scaffold bring Be just to him that [has no T]itle to a Croon. [6] But they find he [is Blockhead] fitted for their Use, A FOOL [by Nature, and a] KNAVE by Custom grown; A Gay-Fop-Mon[arch, whom the Rab]ble may abuse; And their busi[ness done, will soon] Unthrone. But Jemmy [swears and vows, gan] he can get the Croon, He by the [Laws of Forty E]ne wou'd guided be; And Prophane L[awn-sleeves and Sur]plices again must down, Then hey for [our Old Presbytery.] [7] B------ a States-m[an would be] thought, And reason geud that [he sh]ou'd bear that Rev'rend Name Since he was one of them that first began the PLOT, How the King might B[ant]er, and Three Kingdoms Sham. All the Male-Content[s His] Noble Grace To this Rehearsal did [i]nvite, to hear and see But whilst he wittily con[t]riv'd it but a Farce, The busier Noddles turn'd it into Tragedy. [8] And now each A[ctor does be]gin to play his Part, And too so [well he cons his] Geer, and takes his Cue, Till they learn to [play the Re]bel so by rote of heart, That the Fictitio[us] Story seems as true. And now, withou[t c]ontroll, they apprehend and hang; And with th[e Nation] all is Gospel that they Swear; Then Bonn[y Jockey, pre]thee back to Scotland gang, For a Loy[al Lad's in] danger here.
