• Tune — "Hang Money, Plague on you."
Vile tricksters and greggsters late hurried and worried the
Whigs of Great Britain,
State drivellers, such whifflers in story sure never were writ on.
The Tower, blest hour ! such holidays soon will provide us.
That Simon, Hall, Scammony, Bungey, and Bob, more sha'n't
ride us.
G-reat prince, have a care, and beware how you trust such rogues
in future ;
They love the Pretender, though now they pretend to stand
neuter.
They'll rally and sally, betray you whenever they can, sir.
Monoculus rates of his hounds, but is still the same man, sir.
Bright Halifax, Cowper, and Somers, in bumpers we always
begin, sir,
With Churchill and Russel, all heroes for bringing you in, sir.
Knees bent and swords drawn, kind Heaven we pray to preserve
you.
We are jolly, d n folly, drink church, in spite of the clergy.

Let every true soul in the room
With unanimous duty combine
To pronounce the vile Jacobites' doom,
By supporting the Protestant line.
With resolute loyalty now unite,
And stand by King George with all your might ;
So the rebels we'll rout.
And the Jacks we'll turn out,
For no Popery here shall thrive.
The rise of this vapoui-ing party,
Corapos'd of rogues, Papists, and fools,
For pretty young Jemmy so hearty,
And for pay the damn'd Jesuit's took.
