40 G APPENDIX.
Our wrath they all dread,
By which they are bled,
When foolishly into rebellion they're led.
Heaven send our king back !
Huzza aloud, huzza aloud, boys ;
His presence we lack.
All his foes let's destroy,
No impostor shall reign ;
Keep the coward out, keep the coward out, boys ;
That bastard disdain.
None but fools he decoys.
All Papists defy,
For for George we will' die :
To no base Pretender will we ever surrender,
But stand by our king.
To whose glory we sing,
For the blessings which he to this kingdom docs bring.
In no danger's the church,
'Tis a lie all, 'tis a lie all, sirs ;
She's left in no lurch ;
But villains loving stirs,
Such stories do tell.
To keep up faction, to keep up faction here.
But if they rebel,
Their rebellion don't fear :
To justice we'll bring 'em.
And at Tyburn we'll string 'em.
Where Paul the Nonjuror, a rogue never purer,
Nonjuring church did own.
But England's church and crown
We Whigs will all stand by, and Eome shall tumble down.
:f irst of Htuguet.
Let loyal boys, with joy unfeigu'd,
Commemorate this happy day.
That sav'd our isle, by rogues enchain'd,
From Popish arbitrary sway.
Let Tory rogues their grief express,
With rosemary and black most sad ;
This day renews their torments fresh,
But makes all loyal souls more glad.
