Monmouth Degraded Or James Scot , the little King in LYME A SONG To the Tune of Hark , hark , the Thundering Cannons roar , &c. I. COme Beat Alarum , Sound a Charge , As well without as in the Verge , Let every Sword and Soul be large , To make our Monarch Shine Boyes : Let 's leave off Whores and Drunken Souls , And windy words o're briming Bowls ; Let English Hearts exceed the Poles , 'Gainst Perkin , King in Lyme Boyes . II. Such a Fop-King was ne're before Is Landed on our Western shore , Which our black Saints do all adore , Inspir'd by Tub-Divine Boyes : Let us assume the Souls of Mars , And March in Order , Foot and Horse , Pull down the Standard at the Cross , Of Perkin King in Lyme Boyes . III. Pretended Son unto a King , Subject of Delights in Sin , The most ungrateful Wretch of Men , Dishonour to the Shrine Boyes ; Of Charles and James , the undoubted Right Of Englands Crown and Honours Bright , While he can find us work , let 's Fight , 'Gainst Perkin , King in Lyme Boyes . IV. The Sainted Sisters now looks Blew , Their Cants all False if God be True , Their Teaching Stallions dare not do , No more but Squeeze and Whine Boyes ; Exhorting all the Clowns to Fight Against their God , King , Church and Right , Takes Care , for all their Wives at Night , For Perkin , King in Lyme Boyes . V. Poor Perkin now , he is no more , But James Scot , as he was before ; No Honour left but Soul to soar , Till quite expir'd with time Boyes But first he 'l call his Parliament , By Ferguson and Gray's Consent , Trenchard and all the Boars in 's Tent , Fit for the King in Lyme Boyes . VI. 'Gainst these mock Kings , each draw his Sword In Blood we 'll print them on Record , Traytors against their Sovereign Lord , Let 's always Fight and joyn Boyes , Now they 'r Block'd up by Sea and Land , By Treason they must fall or stand , We only wait the Kings Command , To Burn the Rogues in Lyme Boyes . VII . But now we hear they 'r sallied forth , Front and Flank 'em , South and North , Nobles of brave Englands Worth , Let your bright Honours shine Boys ▪ Let Guns and Cannons Roar and Ring , The Musique of a Warlike King , And all the Gods just Conquest bring , Against the Rogues in Lyme Boyes .
