An Excellent New Ballad , To the Tune of How Unhappy is Phillis in Love . [1] LEt Oliver now be forgotten , His Policy 's quite out of Dores ; Let Bradshaw and Hewson lie rotten , Like Sons of Fanatical Whores : For Tony's grown a Patrician , By Voting damn'd Sedition , For many years , Fam'd Polititian , The Mouth of all Presbyter Peers . [2] Old Tony a Turn-coat at Worster , Yet swore he 'd mantain the King 's Right ; But Tony did Swagger and Bluster , Yet never drew Sword on his side . For Tony is like an old Stallion , He has still the Pox of Rebellion , And never was sound ; Like the Camelion , Still changing his Shape and his Ground . [3] Old Rowly's return'd ( Heav'ns bless him , ) From Exile and Danger set free ; Old Tony made haste to Address him , And swore none more Loyal than He : The King , ( who knew him a Traytor , ) And saw him squint like a Satyr ; Yet through his Grace , Pardon'd the Matter , And gave him since the Purse and the Mace . [4] And now little Chancellor Tony , With Honour had feather'd his Wing , And carefully pick'd up the Mony , But never a Groat for the King : But Tony's Luck was confounded ; The D. who smoakt him a Round-head ; From Head to Heel Tony was sounded , And Y — soon put a Spoke in his Wheel . [5] But now little Tony in Passion , Like Boy that had nettl'd his Breech , Maliciously took an occasion , To make a most delicate Speech ; He told the King like a Croney ; If e're he hop'd to have Money , He must be Rul'd : Oh fine Tony ! Was ever Potent Monarch so School'd ? [6] The King issues out a Poclamation , By Learned and Loyal Advice ; But Tony possesses the Nation The Councel will never be wise : For Tony is madder and madder , And M — blows like a Bladder , And L — too , Who grows gladder , That They Great York are like to subdue . [7] But Destiny shortly will cross it , For Tony's grown Gouty and Sick , In spite of his Spiggot and Fawcet , The States-man must go to Old Nick : For Tony rails at the Papist , Yet He himself is an Atheist ; Though so precise , Foolish and Apish , Like Holy Quack or Priest in Disguise . [8] But now let this Rump of the Law-see , A Maxim as Learned in part ; Who e're with his Prince is too sawcy , 'T is fear'd he 's a Traytor in 's Heart : Then Tony cease to be witty , By buzzing Treason i' th' City ; And love the King , So ends my Dity ; Or else let him die like a Dog in a string .
