^ONG CCCLXXVI. Rtmmher, he,
REmembei ye ^ig^i what vra« formerly
done,
Remember your Mifchiefs in YoHy ancl Om ;
When Friend oppos'd Friend, and Father the
Son,
Then, then the Old Caufe went rarely on;
The Cap fat aloft, and low was the Crown,
The Rabble got up, and the Nobles went down:
Lay Elders in Tubs,
Rui'd '3///J0/1J in Robes,
Who mourn'd the fad Fate,
And dreadful Difafter
Of their Royal Mafter,
By Rebels betray 'd.
Then London hezvifey and baffle their Tozver,
And let them play the old Game no more ;
JIa g^ hang up theShi — ffs thoje Baboons in FoweT'
Thofe popular 'fhieves) thofe Rats of the Tower ;
Wbofe canting Tale the Rabble believes in a hurry %
And never forty, merrily they jlillgo on $
Tie for Shame, we're too tame^ fince they slaim
The Combat, Tan tara ra ra^ tan ta ra ra ra^
Vdbj a dab, a let the Drum beat^ the firong Militjit i
Guards the Throne.
When Fafiion poffefTes the popular Voice,
The Caufe is fupply'd ftill with Nonfeufc and
Noife,
And Tonyi their Speaker, the Rabble leads on,
He knows if we profper that he niuft run;
Carolina mtfl be his next Station of Eafe,
And Jjondon be rid of her worft Difeafe^
Fiom Plots and from Spies,
. From Treafon and Liei, i
We fhall ever be free; |
And the Law fhall be able J
