A Ballad of Vigour

THE Crown once again
Its Rights shal maintain
And the Nation shal make a good Figure
For our Glorious Redeemer
Tells Harley and Seymour
Tis time They shou'd Act with great vigor.
When the Hands of the Pages
Find how sad a thing Age is
In our little dispirited Fr: —
Tis likely his Brains
New fire shou'd retain
And He'l act with abundance of Vigor
His Majesty's Actions
Shal soon suppress Factions
And by May he shal Paris beleaguer
For without Troops or Pence
Without Counsels or Sense
The King has a fancy for Vigor.
Whilst He lays his concerns on
The shoulders of Vernon
His Credit will surely grow bigger
And if Sunderland comes
Sound Trumpet beat Drums
No doubt but We'l act with great Vigor.
Albemarle leads the way
Drest like Mars in a play
With Cassie as fierce as a Tyger
And Miremont the Prince
Shal his Country convince
That His Majesty's Fav'rites have Vigor.
Vice Chamberlain Bartie
Is in the Court Partie
Lord Cuts for the Combat is eager
And for Jore and Laloe
Grand Louis shal know
What it is to be given to Vigor.
But if Whigs get the better
You'l see how He'l fetter
And Hamstring our Royal Intreguer
If the Tory prevails
In comes little W....
And have We not acted with Vigor ?
