WHIG SONGS. ' 389
Who richly deserv'd to be whipt for his pain,
If now at the last we must give up Spain,
If now we must give up Spain.
Since matters stand thus, I am sorely afraid,
Whenever this scandalous peace shall be made,
Our senate for Cato will quickly decree
Some punishment worse than the sting of a bee.
Poor Mat in the pillory soon will be seen :
For 3Iortimer too, oh ! well had it been
That he had been pleas'd in his Mole to remain,
If now at the last we must give up Spain,
If now we must give up Spain.
d^eorge at Imt s^alJ liiear tljc Ctolrin,
Tune — " The King shall enjoy his own again."
Though Britain on to ruin runs,
And ail that's faithful to her shuns,
Yet Providence, that's ever kind,
Has still a blessing left behind.
Then, friends, hearken well
To what I shall tell ;
I'll do't although superiors frown :
Before many years do end,
The times will amend,
And George at last shall wear the crown.
Let Jacks and Tories rave and rant
About the church, and such like cant.
Their kings and queens may idolize.
And teach them how to tyrannize :
But we our property
Will maintain, and liberty.
And all shall still enjoy their own ;
So you may plainly see
How happy we shall be,
When George at last does wear the crown.
Although addresses up were brought.
And all were well receiv'd at court.
In their hereditary right
They assert with all their force and might ;
