Poets affirm to fix their renown, Sing, sing vive le Roy; In all Revolutions, some up and some down, Sing, sing vive le Roy: Not one out of Forty, was false to the Crown, Rare, rare carols of joy; Bear, bear fancys on high, Common-wealth haters, Abhorring all Traitors: They sing, sing vive le Roy, All sing &c.
Humours go round the Town at each meal,
Sing, sing vive le Roy; And if we in Wit, as in Metals may deal, Sing, sing vive le Roy: Tho' some are of Lead, yet the best are in Steel, Round, round Europe they fly; Wide, wide Nations supply, Loyal Spectators, with Morals and Satyrs: Still sing, sing vive le Roy, Sing, sing &c.
If the wise Members ripe for a Fray,
Would Sing vive le Roy; And take my Advice in a moderate way, Or sing vive le Roy: Chuse quiet two Bottles, and three Meals a day, No more Strife would destroy, No more Malice supply; Virulent stories, the Whiggs, and the Tories, Would end all, vive le Roy, All, all &c.
But if vile humours lasting and long,
Wont sing vive le Roy;
Both sides to support it, with Libel that's strong,
To sing vive le Roy:
