He ordered that they should be shot,
Where they were found in every spot,
By hellish soldiers my drudges
Whom he empower d in place of judges,
Suspected persons for to try.
And at their pleasure make them die,
Without allowing liberty
To fit them for eternity.
He fram'd all mischief by a law,
To make Scotland an aceldema;
Threatened to make a hunting field,
Of shires that would not fully y eld.
We all the venom of the pit
Against piety did spit,
He hated all maliciously,
Had any sovereign but me;
Had any sovereign but me;
Disdained common honesty,
Lov'd nothing but impiety.
He in my service posted fast,
Until his projects got a blast.
When Orange did come o'er the sea,
Like a base coward he did flee.
Then he did abdicate the crown,
And after liv'd a vagabond;
Till at St. Germains he did die,
And then he did come home to me.
I need not speak of Queensberry.
No man was loyaler than he:
He serv'd me well mith all his might,
Against the Whigs with great despight,
While York s commission he did bear,
U on that he was most severe.
By him the parliament was led.
Saint's blood like water then he shed,
He confidently did declare
