I need not ſpeak of Queenſberry,
No man was loyaler than he ;
He ſerv'd me well with all his might,
Againſt the Whhigs with great despight,
While York's commission he did bear,
Upon that he was moſt ſevere.
By him the Parliaments were led;
Saints' blood like water then he ſhed!
He confidently did declare,
They ſhould not have time to prepare
For heaven, because, he ſaid, that hell
Was too good a place for Whigs to dwell.
By that he acted to his power,
Both ſoul and body to devour!
Which was the only thing I fought,
Altho' to pass it was not brought.
Yet thanks be unto Queenſberry,
For his good-will in ſerving me.
I Milton Maxwell muſt commend,
Ten Whigs at once he did condemn.
And after that he did devote
Himſelf. my kingdom to promote:
McCartny he did apprehend,
Brought him to an untimous end.
He plagu'd the Preſbyterians ſore,
That dwelt on the water of Orr.
For Corſacks's house he rifled bare,
And neither nurse nor child did ſpare,
But thrust them out from house and hold,
To hunger them, expos'd to cold;
He did leave nothing in that houſe,
That was to him of any uſe:
The horse, the nolt, the corn, the ſheep,
