An Excellent New Song OF The Unfortunate WHIG's . To the Tune of , The King enjoys his own again . [ 1 ] THe Whigs are but small , and of no good Race , and are Belov'd by very few ; Old Tony broach'd his Tap in e'ry place , to encourage all his Factious Crew : At some great Houses in this Town , The Whiggs of High Renown , And all with a true Blue was their Stain ; For since it is so , They have wrought their overthrow Old Tony will ne'r enjoy his own again . [ 2 ] They all owne Duty to their Lawful Prince , and Loyal Subjects should have been , But their Duty is worn out long since , by the Association seen : But these are the Whiggs , That have cut off some Legs , And fain would be at that Sport amain ; For since it is so , They have wrought their overthrow , Old Tony will ne'r enjoy his own again . [ 3 ] And yet they are the Sham-pretenders , and they swear they 'll support our Laws , These be the great Defenders of Ignoramus and the Old Cause : They 'll defend the King , By Swearing of the Thing , These are the cursed Rogues in grain ; For since it is so , They have wrought their overthrow , Old Tony will ne'r enjoy his own again . [ 4 ] The True Religion that shall down , which so along has won the day , And Common-Prayer i' th Church of e'ry Town , if that the Whiggs could but bear the Sway : For Oats he does begin , Now for to bring them in , As when he came mumping from Spain ; For since it so , They have wrought their overthrow , Old Tony will ne'r enjoy his own again . [ 5 ] How all their Shamming Plots they would hide , yet they are Ignorant they say , When as Old Tony he was Try'd , and brought off with Ignoramus sway : Then Oats he was Dumb , And could not use his Tongue , This is the Shamming Ro — in Grain ; For since it is so , They have wrought their overthrow . Old Tony will ne'r enjoy his own again . [ 6 ] Then let all true Subjects Sing . and Damn the power of all those , That won't shew Loyalty to their King , and assist him against his Whiggish Foes : Then in this our happy state , In spight of Traytors hate , We will all Loyal still remain ; For since it is so , They have wrought their overthrow , Old Tony will ne'r enjoy his own again . [ 7 ] God preserve our Gracious King , with the Royal Consort of his Bed , And let all Loyal Subjects sing , that the Crown may remain on Charles's head : For we will drink his Health , In spight of Common-Wealth , And his Lawful Rights we will maintain , For since it is so , They have wrought their overthrow , Old Tony will ne'r enjoy his own again . FINIS .
