( 16 ) I need not ſpeak of Queenſberry, No man was loyaler than he ; He ſerv'd me well with all his might, Againſt the Whhigs with great despight, While York's commission he did bear, Upon that he was moſt ſevere. By him the Parliaments were led; Saints' blood like water then he ſhed! He confidently did declare, They ſhould not have time to prepare For heaven, because, he ſaid, that hell Was too good a place for Whigs to dwell. By that he acted to his power, Both ſoul and body to devour! Which was the only thing I fought, Altho' to pass it was not brought.<br /d> Yet thanks be unto Queenſberry,<br /d> For his good-will in ſerving me.<br /d> I Milton Maxwell muſt commend,<br /d> Ten Whigs at once he did condemn.<br /d> And after that he did devote <br /d> Himſelf. my kingdom to promote:<br /d> McCartny he did apprehend,<br /d> Brought him to an untimous end.<br /d> He plagu'd the Preſbyterians ſore,<br /d> That dwelt on the water of Orr.<br /d> For Corſacks's house he rifled bare,<br /d> And neither nurse nor child did ſpare,<br /d> But thrust them out from house and hold,<br /d> To hunger them, expos'd to cold;<br /d> He did leave nothing in that houſe,<br /d> That was to him of any uſe:<br /d> The horse, the nolt, the corn, the ſheep,<br /d> He every thing away did ſweep.
