The Whigg-Feast : A SCOTCH BALLAD , made to the Tune of a new and pleasant Scotch Dance .
I. WOons ! what noo is the matter ? Gud feth'tis wondrous strange , The Whigs do keep sike a clatter , That nean can pass th' Exchange . They cry , ‛ Bread ! 't is pity Their Numbers are no more , The DUKE does dine in the City , And muckle they fear His Power . They begin the awd Trick agen , And cabal like Old-Nick agen , Feast three hundred pound thick agen , Sike a height they soar : Ah , bonny London ! thou 'rt undone , If e're thou art in their power .
II. Th' wise old E — with the Spigot , That ne're knew rest or ease , Udsbread ! is grown sike a Bigot , The Nation has his Disease . More o' th' Tribe I can name ye , That make this Raree-Show , Bold George , and Politique Jemmy , Converted by Doctor T O. Both the Sheriffs there should ha bin , Then how merry they would ha bin , Met for National Good agen , As they were before : Ah , bonny London ! thou 'rt undone , If long thou art in their power .
III. More to show us what Ninneys Are all rebellious Beasts , The Cuckolds sent in their Guinneys , To make this Jolly Feast . Never caring , or thinking , What Insolence was done , Or that their Plotting and Drinking Should e're be oppos'd so soon . But when they knew they were barr'd agen , They sent out the Black Guard agen , All our Bonfires were marr'd agen , Slaves did shout and roar : Ah , bonny London ! thou 'rt undone , If e're thou art in their power .
IV. Right and Royalty governs , Which Rebels would overthrow ; They once were fatal to Soveraigns , Ah , let 'em no more be so ! But to baffle Oppression , Inspir'd by Fate Divine , Defend the Crown and Succession , And keep it in the Right Line . Every Soldier will fight for it , Each bold Genius will write for it , And the Whigs hang in spite for it , Losing Regal Power : And , bonny London , they 're undone , That thought to usurp once more .

London , Printed for Joseph Hindmarsh at the Black-Bull in Cornhill . 1682.
