 Poets affirm to fix their renown,        Sing, sing vive le Roy; In all Revolutions, some up and some down,         Sing, sing vive le Roy: Not one out of Forty, was false to the Crown,     Rare, rare carols of joy;     Bear, bear fancys on high, Common-wealth haters, Abhorring all Traitors:         They sing, sing vive le Roy,         All sing &c.

Humours go round the Town at each meal, Sing, sing vive le Roy; And if we in Wit, as in Metals may deal,        Sing, sing vive le Roy: Tho' some are of Lead, yet the best are in Steel,     Round, round Europe they fly;     Wide, wide Nations supply, Loyal Spectators, with Morals and Satyrs:         Still sing, sing vive le Roy,         Sing, sing &c.

If the wise Members ripe for a Fray, Would Sing vive le Roy; And take my Advice in a moderate way,        Or sing vive le Roy: Chuse quiet two Bottles, and three Meals a day,     No more Strife would destroy,     No more Malice supply; Virulent stories, the Whiggs, and the Tories,         Would end all, vive le Roy,         All, all &c.

But if vile humours lasting and long, Wont sing vive le Roy; Both sides to support it, with Libel that's strong, To sing vive le Roy:
