THE Western Rebel ; OR , THE True Whiggish Standard set up , By the True-Blue Protestant PERKIN . To the Tune of , Packington's Pound . I. SEE the Vizor's pull'd off , and the Zelots are Arming , For our old Egypt-Plagues the Whig Locusts all Swarming . The true Protestant Perkin , in Lightning has spoke , And begins in a Flash to vanish in Smoke : Little Jemmy's lanch'd o're From the old Holland Shore , Where Shaftsbury marcht to the Devil before . The Old Game 's a beginning ; for High-Shoes & Clowns Are turning State-Tinkers for mending of Crowns . II. Let his Desperate Frenzy to ruine spur on ; The Rebel too late , and the Madman too soon . But politick Noddles without Wit or Reason , When empty of Brains have the more room for Treason . Ambition bewitches , Through Bogs and through Ditches , Like a Will with a Wisp : For the Bastard Blood itches : And the Bully sets up , with his High-Shoes and Clowns , A True Protestant Tinker for mending of Crowns . III. Let him banter Religion , that old Stale pretence , For Traytors to mount on the Neck of their Prince . But Clamor and Nonsence no longer shall fright us , Our Wits are restored by the flogging of Titus . Their Canting Delusion , And Bills of Exclusion , No longer shall sham the mad World to Confusion . The Old Cheat's too gross , & no more Bores & Clowns For perching on Thrones , and prophaning of Crowns . IV. So the Great Murder'd Charles , our Church , Freedom and Laws , Were all Martyrs of old , to the Sanctified Cause . Whilst Gospel and Heav'n were the popular Name , The Firebrands of Hell were all ligh't from that Flame . Reformation once tuned , Let Religion but sound , When that Kirk Bagpipe plays all the Devils Dance round . But the Whining Tub Cheat shall no longer go down : No more Kings on Scaffolds , and Slaves on a Throne . V. Let his hot-brain'd Ambition , with his Renegade Loons , Mount the Son of the People , for Lord of Three Crowns ; The Impostor on one hand , and Traytor on t'other , Set up his false Title , as crackt as his Mother . But whilst Peacock-proud , He struts and talks loud , The Head of the Rabble , and Idol o' th' Crowd ; From his false borrow'd Plumes , & his hopes of a Crown , To his black Feet below , let th' Aspirer look down . VI. Then let him march on with his Politick Poll , To perch up his Head by old Bradshaw and Noll : Whilst the Desperate Jehu is driving headlong , To visit the Reliques of Tommy Armstrong . For there 's Vengeance a working , To give him a Jerking , And humble the Pride of the poor little Perkin . Great JAMES his dread Thunder shall th' Idol pull down , Whilst our Hands , Hearts , and Swords are all true to the Crown .
