LONDON's JOY and LOYALTY On His ROYAL HIGHNESS the Duke of YORK's RETURN out of SCOTLAND.

To the Tune of, London s Loyalty.
[1]
ROuze up ye Tories
Of this [...]actious Land,
Now LOYALTY
Hath got the Upper-hand:
The Rabble-Rout
Their Errours shall disclalm,
And Homage pay
To YORK's Illustrious Name;
The London Mayor
Is faithful to his Trust,
And the two present Sh'riffs
Wou'd fain be counted Just;
And every [...]actious Rebel
Through the Town agree
To shew the heighth
Of London's Loyalty.
[2]
Now the loud Threat'ning
Tempest is dispers'd,
And all their shamming PLOTS
Are quite revers'd;
Great JEMMY's happy
RESTAƲRATION here
Makes a new day
In LONDON's Hemisphere:
The Clouds are gone
That did oppress His REIGN,
And joyful Day breaks forth
In this glad land again.
Then to the Mighty DƲKE
Of YORK and ALBANY
Now London, London
Shew thy Loyalty.
[3]
A Royal PAIR,
With their Illustrious Train,
To LONDON's Joy
Are now RETƲRND again:
Great Gracious CHARLES
Does in the Front appear,
And Princely YORK
Advances in the Rear;
The Right SƲCCESSOR
Is Return'd again,
Whom former FACTION
Sent an EXILE o'r the Main,
Then to the Mighty DƲKE
Of YORK and ALBANY
Now London, London
Shew thy Loyalty.
[4]
Heav'n Bless the KING,
Preserve the LAWFUL HEIR,
Let TORIES Sing,
And Brimighams Despair;
To see Great YORK
Invested in His own,
'Spight of all Fop
PRETENDERS to the Throne;
Then Truth and Justice
Shall our Joys restore;
ASSOCIATIONS shall
Destroy our Peace no more;
But to our Gracious KING,
With YORK and ALBANY
All Subjects seek
To shew their LOYALTY.
