WHIG SONGS. 395
l^ep, IB0V&3 up go Ijjc,
Now, now the Whigs shall all go down,
The Tories up and ride ;
These genuine sons of church and crown
On both shall get astride.
We'll damn these stiff republicans
As low as low can be,
And whip and spur we'll seize the reins :
Then hey, boys^ up go loe.
We'll broach our tubs and principals
Of October passive growth,
And till our tubs and bottles fail,
We'll stand and fall by both.
With these we'll rout their boasted cause
Of legal liberty.
Pretend the church has broke the laws ;
Then hey, hoys, up go we.
Their meeting-houses we will gut,
And then, as we were wont,
We'll swear 'twas a Fanatic Plot,
And the rogues themselves have done't.
With French and Papists we will join,
To show our loyalty ;
Set Perkin up with right divine :
Then hey, hoys, up go ive.
We'll send our fool the country round,
His way for to prepare.
With trumpet, pipe, and flag, and drum,
Like cavalcade of bear.
The church's danger to advance,
Through such a tool as he.
Will serve till better comes from France ;
Then hey, boys, up go we.
We'll pray and curse, address and swear,
Pro-con. the Revolution ;
With Hanover condemn the heir
Of passive institution.
The legal right to weaken thus
Our interest it will be ;
