King Charles the Second's Restoration,

Tune, Where have you been my lovely Sailor bold.

YOU brave loyal Churchmen,
That ever flood by the crown
Have you forgot that noble Prince,
Great Charles of high renown,
That from his rights was banifh'd,
By P------ns who,
Moft cruelly his father kill'd,
O curfed damned crew,
So let the Bells in Steeple's ring,
And mufick fweetly play.
That loyal tories may n't forget,
The twenty ninth of May.

Twelve years was he banifh'd,
From what was his juſt due,
And forc'd to hide in fields and woods,
From P------n crew
But God did preferve him,
As plainly you do fee, (Oak,
The blood hounds did furround the
White he was in the tree,
So let the Bells in Steeple's ring,
And Mufick fweetly play,
That loyal tories may not forget,
The twenty ninth of may.

As providence would have it.
The hounds did loofe their ſcent,
To ſpill the blood of this brave Prince,
It was their whole intent,
While that he was in exile,
The church they pulled down,
The common prayer they burnt ſir,
And trampled on the crown,
So let, &c.

They plunder'd at their pleafure,
On lords eſtates they ſiez'd
The bifhops they did ſend away,
They did juſt as they pleas'd :
But General Monk at laſt roſe up,
With valiant hearts ſo bold,
Saying, that he no longer,
By them would be controul'd,
So let, &c.

So in great ſplendour,
At laſt he did bring in,
Unto every Tories joy,
Great Charles our ſovereign ;
Then loyal hearts ſo merry,
The royal oak did wear,
While balconies with tapeſtry hung,
Nothing but joy was there,
So let, &c.

The conduits they with wine did run,
The bonfires did blaze,
every street likewife the ſkies,
Did ring with loud huzza.

Saying God bleſs our Sovereign,
And ſend him long to reign,
Hoping the P------n crew,
May never rule again.
So let, &c.

Soon as great Charles,
Our royal king was crown'd,
He built the church up again,
The meetings were pull'd down.
No canting then was in the land,
The ſubjects were at peace,
The church again did flourifh,
And joy did then increafe.
So let, &c.

The curfed P--------n crew,
Was then put to the flight,
Some did fly by day,
And others run by night,
In barns and ſtables they did haunt
And every place they could,
He made them remember,
The ſpilling royal blood.
So let, &c.

May God for ever,
Bleſs the church and crown,
And never let any ſubject ſtive
The king for to dethrone,
May churchmen ever flourifh,
And peace increafe again,
God for ever bleſs the King,
And ſend him long to reign,
So let, &c.
