We'll drink their destruction that would destroy drinking, -
Let 'um vote THAT a health if they will.
Those men that did fight,
And did pray day and night
For the Parliament and its attendant,
Did make all that bustle
The King out to justle,
And bring in the Independent,
But now we all clearly see what was the end on't.

Now their idols thrown down with their sooter-kin also,
About which they did make such a pother;
And tho' their contrivance did make one thing to fall so,
We have drank ourselves into another;
And now (my lads) we
May still Cavaliers be,
In spite of the Committee's frown;
We will drink and we'll sing,
And each health to our King
Shall be loyally drunk in the 'CROWN,'
Which shall be the standard in every town.

Their politick would-be's do but show themselves asses
That other men's calling invade;
We only converse with pots and with glasses,
Let the rulers alone with their trade;
The Lyon of the Tower
There estates does devour,
Without showing law for't or reason;
Into prison we get
