The Pot Companions : OR , Drinking and Smoaking preferr'd before Caballing and Plotting . By a new Moddel'd Gang of honest brave Fellows , That neither are Tories nor Whiggs in an Ale-house . To a Play-house Tune , call'd , Thus all the day long we are frolick and gay : Or , We 'l teach the little Dogs , &c. COme make a good Toast , and stir up the Fire ; And f●ll the great Tankard of what we admire : Then bring in a Paper of excellent Fogoe , That we may perfume the whole House with the Hogoe : And here let us sit like Honest brave Fellows , That neither are Tories nor Whigs in an Ale-House . And here let us sit , &c. We 'l raise no Disputes of the Church nor the State , To waken the Plot , which has slept out its date : Nor came we to treat of the Cities great Charter , But onely to Drink to the Sons of the Martyr : And better it is to be Honestly Sotting , Then live to be Hang'd for Caballing and Plotting . And better , &c. Since Freedom or Death is out of our power , What have we to do with the Lords in the Tower ? We 'l leave them to Justice , let that take its course ; And set every Saddle upon the right Horse : Though the Witnesses fade , and the Plot 's almost rotten ; Yet Presbyter-Jack will ne'r ●e forgotten . Though the Witnesses fade , &c. We have nothing to do with the fudes of the Nation , With old Magna Charta , nor th'Association : Let S — fancy himself to be Crowning ; Or beg his Quietus , and venture a Drowning : Let Black-Coat go on , and raise up his story : That 's nothing to us , let the Saints have their Glory . Let Black , &c. Though the Spaniards were Landed , which B — recounted ; And all the Commissions which Coat gave were mounted : And little Don John did lead these brave fellows , The Devil a Foot would we stir from the Ale-house When they have rais'd Armies by Praying and Winking , 't is we that maintain them with Smoaking and Drinking , When they have , &c. Then away to the King let the Tankard go round ; May the Plots and the Plotters each other confound : To His Highness the Duke , and the Royal Successors , And every Member of Loyal Addressers : To the Honest Lord Mayor , and all other old Christians ; But guard us good Lord from these whineing Phylistines . To the honest Lord Mayor , &c.
