The VVhigg's Defeat OR The Mystery of Iniquity laid open Being a pleasant New Song by way of Dialogue between WHIGG and TORY The Tune is A Fig for France Tory. NOw now you sneaking Whigs 't is plain your wickedness is brought to light And all your Projects are in vain E'en maugre all your Factious spight Although that you hate Loyalty we still to serve our King are bent And with one mind we all will strive your Whiggish mischief to prevent Whigg Nay Tory not so rash I pray against the Brethren for you know There was a time you durst not say what in our teeth you 'r pleas'd to throw When all the Game went on our side when we were stil'd the only Men And 't was but getting up and Ride alas where were you Tories then Tory. You did Rebell against a Prince more Great Just the world ne'r knew To Murther and Rob Innocence and all in Blood three Nations brew This was the Cursed Good Old Cause to pull down Monarchy and Laws And now you squint upon the Fate and would be acting Forty-Eight VVhigg 'T was Popery we did detest to root that out was all our aim Though some Men farther went at last for which we did them greatly blame A Reformation 't was we sought but prethee tell me once agen When we on Cock-a-Hoop had got where were you Blustering Tories then Tory. We held out Loyal to the last nor did we flinch for any fear Our Lives and Fortunes we did waste under the Name of Cavaleer Until by your curst Villany the best of Kings to slaughter went And now we with one voice do cry such VVhiggsh mischief to prevent VVhigg But Tory that is now forgot we since have prov'd us honest men Which may wipe off that fatal Blot which so the Good Old Cause did stain You know we Loyalty express resist the Whore of Babylon But O could we our wish possess alack for you poor Tories then Tory. That Crime 's forgot and are you grown so Loyal VVhigg as now you say Has not your Loyalty been shown of late The c●ean Contrary way In your Cabals don't you inveigh against the best of Government Make sower faces and oft pray for Forty-One's Rump-Parliament That you might Plunder honest Men Ravish and Murther without Lett That Coblers might be Lords again and Brittains Glory once more set To crush the neck of Loyalty but Heaven does frustrate their intent Long live the King is all o●r cry no Forty-One Rump-Parliament VVhigg Well now I see 't is plain that you do to the Scarlet Beast belong And seek the Godly to undo by numbering up your former wrong Woe 's we poor VVhiggs I see it plain we strive but now against the Stream But if we e're get up again woe to each Blustering Tory then Tory. Whigg England is at last grown wise your Villanies are open laid And all your vile Hypocrisies in their own Colors are display'd No Cheat for Publique-Faith Money can you impose cou'd you invent God bless the King is all our cry and hang up Whiggish Government Printed for P.
