The ANTI-CURSE . CUrs't be the Stars which did ordain , That Whigs in England e'er should reign , Who by their damn'd rebellious brood , Laid the Three Kingdoms all in Blood ; Curs't be the Tribe , yea doubly curs't Be those that Murther'd Charles the First , And may their Names recorded be In Hell to all Posterity . Curs't be the Tribe who would have done The same to Charles the Martyr's Son ; But Curs't of all the Race be those , Who basely did King James depose : Under pretence to set us free , They sold us unto Slavery . Curs't be those Rebellious Knaves , To free themselves would make us Slaves ; Curs't be that Rebel Delamere , Who with the Rabble did appear , When first th' Invasion was begun , Against the Father by the Son , Curs't be th' ungratefull Churchill , who Betray'd his King and Master too . Let us with one accord agree , To set our King and Countrey free , From this accursed Tyranny , Which by unnatural Usurpation , Beggers us for the good of th' Nation , Which is to Swear with mental Reservation . For sure he never could intend , The Church of England to defend , When Prelates he left in the Lurch , And set the Kirk above the Church ; Unless he thought that Prelacy , The Common Prayer and Liturgie , Were all the Church's Enemy . Curs't be the Name of English Man , To Curse it more Live William . Then we compleatly shall be Curs't , For of all Cursings he 's the worst . How to Curse more I cannot tell , In him are all the Plagues of Hell , God bless King James , and so farewell .
