WHIG SONGS. 449
But Donna died ; wben all these sparks of might,
With Trojans, came in for proclaiming
George's royal right.
Traitors and tools with Britons brave addrest ;
Dark Simon, and bold Harry Gamboll
Signed it with the rest.
Nature soon took place of loyalty and grace,
And every sorry Tory-rory
Shewed his native face.
Each way, far and near, rebellions soon appear ;
In mobs, disquiets, tumults, riots,
Treasons every where.
High church they cry, but truth and peace despise,
Whereby 'tis plain they nothing mean
But treason in disguise.
What church, but Rome's, did treason e'er advance,
By shams and lies, base calumnies,
Blind zeal and ignorance ?
Hal and Scamoney their false apostles be,
Who teach them faction, foul detraction,
Fraud and perjury.
Those who keep the road, such graceless guides have shewed,
May come to swing in hempen string,
And die as rebels should.
Britons, beware of wolves in shepherds' dress,
With indefeazible they tease
The pulpit and the press.
Loudly they bawl, " Hereditary right,"
Extend the weason to vent treason,
Hellish rage and spight.
Jesuit like they thus canting preach and pray,
For due submission teach sedition,
When they bear not sway,
Rank for monarchy, yet rightful kings defy,
With sword and pistol do resist all
Lawful majesty.
Tories, no more your passive doctrines teach ;
For still your practice plain in fact is,
Nothing what you teach.
Preston and Perth your loyalty have cleared,
And on the plain near to Dumblane,
Your will and skill appeared.
