340 APPENDIX.
By their delicate bill of exclusioa,
So hotly pursued by the rabble,
They hop'd to have made such confusion
As never was seen at old Babel :
Then Shaftsbury's brave city boys,
And Monmouth's country relations,
Were ready to second the noise,
And send it throughout the three nations.
Then Shaftsbury's, &c.
No more of the fifth of November,
That dangerous desperate plot;
But ever with horror remember
Old Tony, Armstrong, and Scot,
For Tony will ne'er be forgotten,
Nor Ferguson's popular rules,
Nor Monmouth, nor Grey, when they're rotten,
For wrong-headed politic fools.
For Tony, &c.
The murder of father and king,
And extinguishing all the right line.
Was a good and godly thing.
And worthy the Whigs' design.
The hanging of prelate and peer,
And putting the guards to the sword.
And fleying and slashing lord-mayors,
Was to do the work of the Lord.
The hanging, &c.
But I hope they will have their desert.
And the gallows will have its due,
x\nd Jack Ketch will be more expert.
And in time be as rich as a Jew ;
Whilst now in the tavern we sing.
All joy to great York and his right,
A glorious long reign to our king ;
And when they've occasion we'll fight.
Whilst now in the tavern, &c.
The name of a Whig and a Tory
No more shall distract the nation ;
We'll fight for the church and her glory,
And pray for this reformation ;
That every factious professor,
And every zealous pretender.
