When cruel zeal comes in their tail.
Then welcome presbytrye, boys.
King William's hands, with lovely bands,
You're decking with good speed, boys ;
If you get leave, you'll reach his sleeve,
And then have at his head, boys.
You're welcome, Jack, we'll join a plack,
To drink your last confusion,
That grace and truth we may possess
Once more without delusion.
SONG X.
CAKES O' CROUDY.*
Chinnie the deddy, and Rethy the monkey ;
Leven the hero, and little Pitcunkie;
O where shall ye see such, or find such a soudy ?
Bannocks of bear meal, cakes of croudy.
Deddy on politics dings all the nation,
As well as Lord Huffie does for his discretion ;
And Crawford comes next, with his Archie of Levy,
Wilkie, and Webster, and Cherrytrees Davy.
