yockey. Fairest and Dearest,
And to my Heart nearest,
To live with thy Frowns I no longer am able ;
I am so loving,
And thou art so moving,
Each Hair of thy Head ties me fast as a Cable:
Thou hast that in thee,
Ise sure to win me,
To yew, Turk ox Atheist, so much I adore thee;
Nothing I'd shun,
That is under the Sun,
So I have the pleasure to lift a Leg o'er thee,
Moggy. Plotters and Traytors,
And Associators,
In every degree thou shalt swear to oppose 'em ;
Swimmers and Trimmers,
The Nations Redeemers,
And for thy Reward thou shalt sleep in my Bosom ;
I had a Dad,
Was a Royal brave Lad,
And as true as the Sun to his Monarch before me ;
Moggy he cry'd,
The same hour that he Dy'd,
Let no sneaking Rebel e'er lift a Leg o'er thee.
yockey. Adieu then ye Crew then,
Of Protestant Blue Men,
No Faction his Moggy from yockey shall sever ;
Thou shalt at Court,
My Conversion Report,
I am not the first Whig by his Wife brought in
favour j
Ise never deal,
For the dull Common Weal,
To fight for true Monarchy shall be my Glory ;
Lull'd with thy Charms,
Then I die in your Arms,
When I have the Pleasure to lift a Leg o'er thee.
