Here's a health, here's a health, Here's a health to our
:E
lawful prince.
Had you seen their public entry.
When first they grac'd the city,
Each did appear in his best gear,
Like pilfering poor banditti.
Drive them hence, &c.
Now they have gotten all our gear,
And our estates are carving ;
If they stay here another year.
We'll have no shift but starving.
Drive them hence, &c.
The only way relief to bring.
And save both church and steeple,
Is to bring in our lawful king,
The father of his people.
Let him come, let him come,
Quickly quickly let him come,
Here's his health, here's his health.
Here's his health and safe return .
Ne'er can another fill his place.
O'er rights divine and civil ;
But for the horny cuckold's face,
Let's drive him to the devil.
Drive him hence, &c.
