ATtend and prepare for a Cargo from Dover, Wine, Silk, Turnips, Onions, with the Peace are come over, Duke d'Aumont has brought (to make room for a Rover) Which no body can deny, deny; which no body can deny. A swagg'ring Crew rode a Horseback before him, He threw out his Cash, that the Mob might adore him; So Tag-rag and Bob-tail made up the Decorum, Which etc. Our Great Men they bought with Pensions and Tattles, Our Genral they had hir'd to fight no more Battles. And the Rabble they wheedle with Shillings and Rattles, Which etc. The Train is made up with the Scum of St. Germain, Priest, Porters, and Fidlers, Pimps, Laqueys and Chairmen, Who are all the Great Whore of Babylons Vermine, Which etc. His House is a Chappel, where the Jesuites range; 'Tis a Court for our Statesmen, and yet, which is strange; 'Tis a Tavern, a Wharehouse, a Garden, a Change. Which etc. The Q--- had a present we know very well: But we must to Market, as all Folks can tell; For they that can buy, they also can sell, Which etc. Here Barons may talk, and Squires may fuddle, The House can provide both Tobacco and Bottle; They've a Seat for your Bum, and a Pipe for your Noddle, Which etc. But these Parcels of Wine that go by Retale, Come unluckily over, to hinder the Sale Of his Brother D. H-----ns Barrels of Ale, Which etc. Here's a Number of Superfine Onions, which shows That the Merchant who sells them has ground to suppose His Trade lay with some that are led by the Nose, Which etc.
Then out came the Silks, and the musty Brocades, That the Liv'ry of France may be laid on the Maids, A good Preparation for Wild-Irish Plads, Which etc. What a jumble of Sounds do we hear all together, From Trumpets and Fiddles, to the Clangs of a Cleaver, Confounded with the Groans of Spittle-field Weaver? Which etc. To raise up a Mass-house they're making great Haste; But when all this Raree-Show-Musick is past, Poor England must pay the Piper at last, Which etc. What pity 'tis now that Gregg was truss'd up, Had he liv'd to this time, there was reason to hope He had come in for a Ribon instead of a Rope, Which etc. The Duke that he wrote to wou'd have giv'n him fair Quarter And so wou'd the E---l for whom he was Martyr; But he got the Halter, and R------n the Garter, Which etc. O Lewis, at last, thou hast plaid the best Card, Lay Hero's aside, and Tricksters reward, Thou hast got by d'Aumont what thou lost by Tallard, Which etc. Remove all the War to Versailles and to Marly, 'Tis Fighting more surely, tho' somewhat unfairly, What a Churchil has won, is restor'd by a H----y, Which etc. May the great Hand of Justice now brandish itself On 'em all in a lump, from that double tipp'd Elfe, To the fag-end of Peerage, the last of the Twelve, Which etc. Hast, Hannover, over, and rescue our Laws From a Rascally Medley of Cowards and Foes, Whores, Cuckolds and Fools, Bauds, Bullies and Beaus; Which etc.
