And meerly mean, to abuse the Q
With Loyal sham pretences;
Fie, Tories fie, &c.
H t's Gown, is now laid down,
The Court for't is in Mourning;
Yet the Cross, gives little loss,
His Coat so well bears turning:
In all Reigns, his working Brains,
Both sides have oft been trying;
Passive fear, he well could bear,
But never self denying:
M sell too, who all Men knew
Of late, so wise and Politick;
Swears to joyn the Grand design,
In spite of his Comptroling stick:
Several more were late brought o'er,
But all were routed in the nick;
The Snake was seen the Flow'rs between,
For all their Grave pretences;
Fie, Tories fie, &c.
Then in short 'tis well the Court,
Can great Preferments vary;
Since they've chose, all now suppose,
An honest Secretary:
One too Just a Knave to trust,
Tho' Language he pronounces,
Or to make his Judgment weak,
Employing Factious Dunces:
Let this Year our Ships of War,
Be worth an able Penmans care;
Let the Plots of raving Sot,
Ne'er draw our Party to a snare;
Nor the kind indulgent Q n,
Afflict with Heart disturbing care:
By doubts that rise, and Tales and Lies,
And Loyal sham pretences;
Fie, Tories fie, you Soar so high,
Y'have all quite lost your Senses.
