A NEW SONG BEING A DIALOGUE BETWEEN A WHIGG and TORY Concerning the Election of Sheriffs TORY Come let us all at last agree Debate 's a Cursed Fashion 'T is only base Disloyalty Infects the King and Nation Whig HOw What in such a Case Unite 'T would be a plain Repentance A Whig can n'er turn Proselyte Before he hears his Sentence Tory. Whence are you thus inspir'd with Zeal Sure 't is the Devil's Motion Two Sheriffs n'er made a Common-weal That 's but a Formal Notion Whig In troth the depth you do not see Of all our Stir and Fury Our Guilty Crimes must n'er go Free But by a well-pick't Jury Tory. If then it be self Preservation That you from Sheriffs claim Why may not We and half the Nation Expect and seek the same Whig Alas with us 't is otherwise Though we don't draw our Swords We may be hang'd for being wise Or speaking dangerous Words Tory. But now you see by the Effect Since all is past and done That North and Rich are true Elect And have the Conquest won Whig Then needs must Tyburn have us all For which we were created For when You rise We needs must fall And with our Noise be hated Tory. Take heed then of the good Old Cause Be sure to rule your Tongue These honest Men must rule by the Laws Which ne'r will do you wrong Whig Tell me no more of wholsome Laws Which hold with Reason still By Factions I must get Applause And gratifie my Will Tory. Come Whig 't is time to leave this way And change your bad Condition In all things now the King obey And not your own Ambition London Printed for T. P. in the Year 1682.
