TIs not Saint George we Sing of here, Nor George, the fatal Duke Villier; Nor George a Green, nor Castriot, Nor Buchanan the learned Scot; But 'tis of George the Valiant Monck, That made Van-Trump in's Blood dead-drunk, And in the Seas his Navy sunck. Oh! this is our brave George! He made the Dutch-men vale their Topps, And humble be, as their Sack-slops; The English Fleet he did advance, To th' terrour of Proud Spain, and France; And when amongst the Scots he came, He did their furious Spirits tame; For which ere since all love his Name. Oh! this is our brave George! Renown by Sea and Land he got, Old Noll for him would do what not; There's none ere boded him ill-will, That valour had, or martial skill; This is the Noble General, Who fights to rescue us from thrall, And that we may be Free-men all. Oh! this is our brave George! Such gallant Worthies are most rare; Yet many more at Portsmouth are, Noble Sir Arthur Haselrigg, Resolves to lead a Scottish Gigg, With Morley, Walton, Wallop, and Renowned Whetham, whose command For all our Liberties do stand, As well as our brave George! Sir Ashley-Cooper, Scot, and more Such honest hearts there are good store; The famous Lawson, and the Fleet, And London Lads in every Street; Who vow to make Subvertors stare At Tyburne in the open air, For doing what no King did dare: And thus vowes our brave George!
The honest Souldiers, (though some be sadly mis-led) resolve to see The Parliament restor'd again, And run away to Monck amain; Who pay's them well, as well they may Expect; for Lambert has no pay; And thus the Newes is every day In honour of brave George! Hacker, and other men resolv'd Deny the Members are dissolv'd, Though their Apostatising Brothers Pretend to be more wise than others; But when their folly re-appeares, And their ill-fortune, like those years When NOLL steep'd all the Land in tears, Then hey! for our brave George. The Writs for a New Parliament, Are to return the way they went; For no Elections can be made, In freedom, whilst the Cobling trade Can Vamp, set up, or them translate; And this necessity of State (As wise men say) breeds all the Bate. And thus sayes our brave George. The noble City will be wise, And their sweet Liberties dear prize; Religion, Lawes, and freedom are, The Stakes for which all parties dare: But yet our better hopes appear, Against the New approaching year, We shall be quited all from fear, By the help of our brave George. Let them that please, sit still at ease, Whilst Heaven in mercy send us peace; But may our noble Worthies be Succesful in their Policy; That order may return again, In Church and State, and right may reign, And all Subvertors have their pain: And God bless our brave George.
