Vive le ROY: Or LONDON's Joy. A New Song on the Instalment of the present Lord Mayor of LONDON.
To the Tune of
St. GEORGE for
ENGLAND.
YOu
London Lads rejoyce, and cast away your
Care,
Since with one Heart and Voice Sir
John is chosen Mayor;
The Famous Sir
John Moore, Lord Mayor of
London Town,
To your eternal Praise, shall stand a Subject of Renown,
Amongst your Famous Worthies who have been most esteem'd;
For Sir
John Sir
John your Honour hath redeem'd.
Sir
John He's for the Kings Right, which Rebels wou'd destroy.
Vive, Vive, Vive le Roy.
When with a Hide-bound Mayor the Town was in distraction,
Sir
John leapt in the Chair, and cur'd the Hall of Faction:
He to the People shew'd their Duty and Allegiance;
How to the Sacred King and Laws they pay their due Obedience.
Sir
George unto the People a Loyal Speech did give;
But Sir
John Sir
John your Honour did retrieve.
Sir
John is for Allegiance, which Rebels wou'd destroy.
Vive, Vive, Vive le Roy.
When thou wast lost, Oh
London, in Faction and Sedition;
By
Whigs and
Zealots undon, while they were in Commission:
When
Treason, like old
Nol's Brigade, did gallop through the Town,
And Loyalty, a tired Jade, had cast her Rider down;
The Famous Sir
George Jeffreys your Charter did maintain;
[...]ut Sir
John Sir
John restor'd thy Fame again.
Sir
John is for the Monarchy, which Rebels wou'd destroy.
Vive, Vive, Vive le Roy.
When th' Mayor, with Sheriffs mounted, sad Jealousies contriv'd,
And all the Town run after, as if the Devil driv'd,
Then Famous Sir
John Moore thy Loyalty restor'd,
[...]nd Noble Sir
George Jeffreys, who did thy Acts record;
[...]
George of all thy
Heroes deserves the formost place;
[...]t Sir
John Sir
John hath got the Sword and Mace.
Sir
John he is for Justice, which Rebels wou'd destroy.
Vive, Vive, Vive le Roy.
Sir
Pa— would have the
Court submit unto the
City;
Whitehall stoop to the
Change, and is not that a pity?
Sh.
Be— (save Allegiance) thinks nothing a Transgression:
Sir
Tom rails at the Lawful Prince, Sir
Bob at the Succession:
While still the brave Sir
George does their Fury interpose;
But Sir
John Sir
John maintains the Royal Cause.
Sir
John He's for his Highness, whom Rebels wou'd destroy.
Vive, Vive, Vive le Roy.
Sir
Pa— for a
Parliament, Sh.
Be— a
Petition
Instead of an
Address, cram'd brimful of Sedition.
Sir
Tom he is for
Liberty, against
Prerogative:
Sir
Bob is for the Subjects Right, but will no Justice give:
And brave Sir
George does all their Famous Deeds record;
But Sir
John Sir
John your Loyalty restor'd.
Sir
John He's for the Int'rest which Rebels would destroy.
Vive, Vive, Vive le Roy.
Sir
Pa— he calls for Justice, and then the Wretch will sham us.
Sh.
Be— he packs a Jury well verst in
Ignoramus:
Sir
Tom wou'd hang the
Tory, and let the
Whig go free:
Sir
Bob wou'd have a
Commonwealth, and cry down
Monarchy.
While still the brave Sir
George does all their Deeds record;
But Sir
John Sir
John your Loyalty restor'd.
Sir
John He is for Justice, which Rebels wou'd destroy.
Vive, Vive, Vive le Roy.
And may such Loyal
Mayors as honest
Sheriffs find:
Such
Sheriffs find a
Jury will to the King be kind;
And may the King live long, to rule such People here;
And may he such a
Lord Mayor find, and
Sheriffs every year;
That Traytors may receive the Justice of the Laws,
While Sir
John Sir
John maintains the Royal Cause.
Sir
John is for the King still, whom Rebels wou'd destroy.
Vive, Vive, Vive le Roy.
