Who Clubb'd at last, Caball'd, and Crowded
To get the DUKE of YORK Excluded
From our Succession so Renowned;
But baffl'd in their end, Him Crowned
With Flatteries and false Addresses,
And Hypocritical Carresses.
But now He's fairly Dead and gone,
And has forgiven ev'ry one.
If He had at their Mercys lay,
He'd pass'd to Heav'n Another Way.
To get the DUKE of YORK Excluded
