No Protestant Plot, Or, The Whigs Loyalty: With the Doctor's New Discovery.

To the Tune of, Burton House, Or, Londons Loyalty.

Entred according to Order.

[I.]
HELLS restless Factious 'Agents still Plot on,
And Eighty Three smells rank of Forty One;
The Royal Martyrs Foes pursue his Sons,
Who seek their Lives with Blunderbuss and Guns:
The Infernal Regicides so inflam'd with Zeal,
Are for Killing King, and Duke, t' Erect a Common-weal;
This is the Dayly Trade and Practice of our Modern Whiggs,
Tho' they're always baffled in their Damn'd Intrigues.
[II.]
What! Ho! cryes Titus, riseye sleepy Heads,
Unless you'l all be Murder'd in your Beds;
Fierce Hannibal of France is at your Gate,
Come Rascals, Mutiny e're it is too late;
The Spanish Pilgrims, once hir'd to cut your Throats,
Are Landed now at Milford Haven, believe your Saviour Oates;
And the Horrid Popish Army, that were hid under Ground,
Are, I'le take my Oath, within a Trumpets Sound.
[III.]
See there, a Fighting Army in the Air!
But now it vanishes, and disappears;
A Spectre told strange Things to Honest Bess,
Which much amaz'd the Hatfield Prophetess:
I told'em true at first, what Black Designs would be
Carry'd on against the King, and Royal Albany,
By the discontented Whiggs; but Rebel Tony since,
Made me contradict my former Evidence.
[IV.]
I've lost my Swearing Trade, now by this Hand,
Must I be forc'd to starve, or leave the Land;
My injur'd Prince has long since on me frown'd,
For Perjuries against his Life and Crown:
I'le follow Rumbold, Wade, Nelthorp, Walcot, Hone,
With that Cruel Blood-Hound Burton, who've all fled the Town;
For if I tarry here much longer, I harbour dreadful Fears,
That I shall be Hang'd, or forfeit both my Ears.
[V.]
Unparallel'd Assassines, that could dare
To attempt the Life of Joves Vice-Gerent here:
Of whom the Gods do take such special care,
None ought to mutter Treason to the Air;
But cut-Throat Protestants may do any thing,
And Inform the Roman-Catholicks how to Murder Kings;
They take it in great Dudgeon to be equaliz'd for Villany,
Yet their Hellish Crimes must pass for Loyalty.
[VI.]
But thanks to Heaven, who did curb their Power,
And has preserv'd us from that Fatal Hour:
When Villains were to Massacre us all,
And Noll's Successors to possess White-hall;
Rumsey has taken up New-gate for his Bower,
And the Lord Russel is gone to fortifie the Tower:
Whilst we that stand for Church and State, with gerat security can Sing,
And Pray, Jove to preserve the Life of Charles our King.
FINIS.
