A SONG At the Loyal Feast , held by the Nobility and Gentry of the Parish of St. MARTINS , kept on the 14th . of October , 1685. Being His MAJESTIES Birth Day . I. TO offer up high to this Days Celebration , The Birth of our Glorious KING ; No Gums nor Perfumes from Arabia wee 'l bring , Nor Sweets from the Zephyrus Grove ; The HEART that is Loyal and free from Invasion , Is the Incense that pleases our JOVE . Let Zealots strut on , puft up with Ambition Of Riches and Fame , the Source of Sedition , Whence Treason and Jealousie springs , With such a lost Wretch who would change his Condition ; For Fame is an Eccho , and Riches have Wings , Whilst Loyalty sleeps in the Bosom of Kings . Chorus . Then to render a Grateful Oblation , Of our Hearts wee 'l an Offering lay down ; From the Counterfeit Imps of Invasion , 'T is Loyalty guards the Crown . II. Since then this Glad Day with the Gods did record Him A MARS in the Annals of Fame ; This Day we devote to that Glorious Name , Since Rebels their Shame did expose , And Heaven through a Series of Wonders restor'd Him To Triumph in spight of his Foes . Let a Volley go round at so solemn a Season , Let Care be a Pain , and a Sigh be held Treason , Whilst zealous Debauches repine ; To be Drunk with Rebellion is a Sot without Reason ; Would you seek a Vertue more Noble in Wine ? 'T is LOYALTY flows from the Bottom of Mine . Chorus . Then to render , &c. III. With LOYALTY crown'd each man fill a Brimmer , A Health to our Soveraign JAMES ; Whose Courage his Conquests so loudly proclaims , The Gods from all Treasons defend ; But for the Pretender and Bigotted Trimmer , The Gibbet and Vengeance attend . With LOYALTY arm'd and wing'd with ALLEGIANCE , Advanc't with our JOVE to the uppermost Regions Triumphant in 's Chariot wee 'l ride ; Whilst Captivate Rebels that kick at Obedience , Like Icarus scorcht in the height of his Pride , Shall drop in the Ocean and fall with the Tide . Chorus . Then to render , &c.
