Volume 5 — A Health to the Tackers.

[Listen]

HERE’s a Health to the Tackers, my Boys, But mine A——se for the Tackers about; May the brave English Spirits come in, And the Knaves and Fanaticks turn out: Since the Magpyes of late, are confounding the State, And wou’d pull our Establishments down; Let us make ’em a Jest, for they Shit in their Nest, And be true to the Church and the Crown. Let us chuse such Parliament Men As have stuck to their Principles tight; And wou’d not their Country betray In the Story of Ashby and White: Who care not a T——d, for a Whig, or a Lord, That won’t see our Accounts fairly stated; For C——ll ne’er fears, the Address of those Peers, Who the Nation of Millions have Cheated. The next thing adviseable is, Since Schism so strangely abounds; To oppose e’ery Man that’s set up By Dissenters, in Corporate Towns: For High-Church, and Low-Church, has brought us to no Church, And Conscience so bubbl’d the Nation; For who is not still for Conformity Bill, Will be surely a R—— on Occasion.
