Our merchant ships may cut the Line, And not be snapt by privateers, And commoners who love good wine Will drink it now as well as peers: Landed men shall have their rent, Yet our stocks rise cent per cent. The Dutch from hence shall no more millions drain: We'll bring on us no more debts, Nor with bankrupts fill gazettes; "And the queen shall enjoy her own again."

We spent our money and our blood, To make the Dutchmen proud and great: But the lord of Oxford swears, Dunkirk never shall be theirs. The Dutch-hearted whigs may rail and complain; But true Englishmen may fill A good health to general Hill; "For the queen now enjoys her own again."

ARLEY, the nation's great support, Returning home one day from court, (His mind with publick cares possest, All Europe's business in his breast). VII.
