The Swearers Chorus to the First Presbyterian Plot

A Bag for my Pilgrims,
Another for Black Bills,
Ten thousand blank Commissions
To move as many Hills:
And a Swearing we will go, will go, will go,
And a Swearing we will go.

A Bag for my Sallery,
From every Fool suborns,
Three brawny Bums to follow me,
And bugger them by turns:
And a Bugg'ring we will go, &c.

A Bag for my Plunder,
Sir William's on the scent;
The Pole did ne'r so thunder
In the Grand Vizier's Tent
And a Plund'ring we will go, &c.

A Bag for my Necklace,
Another for my Plate;
And all shall be Fish
That comes in Wallers Net;
And a Plund'ring we will go, &c.

A Bag for our Pistols
And Consecrated Knives,
And one for Tormentillio's,
T'fright Fools out of their Lives:
And a Plotting we will go, &c.

A Bag for the Parson,
Another for Don John;
Though I swore like a Whoreson,
Yet still I wou'd swear on:
And a Swearing we will go, &c.

Through four and twenty Key-holes
I sally'd like a Witch,
And through as many Brick walls
I'll swear I went through—stitch:
And a Swearing we will go, &c.

To Lambeth we will go,
Where we first made the PLOT;
While Prance and I can swear and lie,
They all shall go to pot;
And a Plotting we will go, &c.

Then we'l to Godfrey go,
And find Him kill'd o'th' spot,
And swear the Papists did it,
To make a Popish Plot:
And a Murd'ring we will go, &c.

A Gown I have for shew
Amongst the Clergy grave,
And, when I please, a Cloak
To hide the double Knave:
And a Plotting we will go, &c.

I had a pretty knack
To Wheedle, Swear and Lye;
By the Rebellious Rabble
How much admir'd was I!
And a Swearing we will go, &c.

In fair London Town
I live, and pay no Rent;
The Brethren they provide for me,
And I am well content:
And a Swearing we will go, &c.

Of all Occupations
The Swearer is most blest;
For when he swears most falsly,
He's always paid the best:
And a Swearing we will go, &c.

I fear no Plot against me,
Although the Whigs rebel;
Then who would be honest,
Since such Rogues fare so well?
And a Plotting we will go, will go, will go;
And a Plotting we will go.
