DAGON's FALL OR , The WHIGS Lamentation for the Death of Anthony King of Poland . Ag 〈…〉 Ld shaftsbury To the Tune of , Philander , &c. 3. feb . 1683/2 [1] AH Cruel Bloody Fate ! What canst thou now do more ? Alass ! 't is now too late Poor Toney to restore : Why should the flattering Fates persuade , That Toney still should live , In England here , Or in Holland there , Yet all our hopes deceive . [2] A Noble Peer He was , And of Notorious Fame ; But now He 's gone ( alass ! ) A Pilgrim o're the Main : The Prop and Pillar of our hope The Patron of our CAUSE ; The Scorn and Hate Of Church and State , The Urchin of the Laws . [3] Of matchless Policy Was this Renowned Peer , The bane of Monarchy , The Peoples Hope and Fear , The Joy of all True-Protestants , The Tories Scorn and Dread ; But now He 's gone Who curst the Throne , Alass ! poor Toney's dead . [4] For Commonwealth He stood , Pretending Liberty ; And for the Publick Good Would pull down Monarchy : The Church and State he would divorce , The Holy CAUSE to wed : And in time did hope To confound the Pope , To be himself the Head . [5] A TAP in 's side he bore , To broach all forts of Ill , For which Seditious Store The Croud ador'd him still : He spit his Venom through the Town , With which the Saints possest , Would preach and prate Gainst Church and State , While He perform'd the rest . [6] When any change of State , Or Mischief was at hand , He had a working Pate , And Devil , at command : He forg'd a PLOT , for which the Heads Of Faction gave their Votes ; But now the PLOT Is gone to pot , What will become of Oates ? [7] Under the fair pretence Of Right , Religion , Law , Excluding the True Prince , The Church would overthrow : With such Religious Shams he brought The Rabble on his side ; And , for his sport , The Town and Court In Parties would divide . [8] Now what 's become of all His squinting Policy Which wrought your Dagon's Fall , From Justice forc'd to flie ? Old and Decrepid , full of pains , As he of Guilt was full : He fell to Fate , And now ( too late ) He leaves us to condole . [9] Now , learn ye Whigs in time , By his deserved Fall , To expiate his Crime , E'r Fate revenge you all ; For Rights , Religion , Liberty , Are but the Sham-pretence To Anarchy ; But Loyalty Obeys the Lawful Prince :
