There's some who do for Vertue plead,
and Glory, do miscarry,
Assert we serve a Parricide

so Hey Boyes up go we.

The Parliament, these poor sham Sots,
we'l make them well content,
To give supplies to cut their Throats,
and when they do consent,
We'll kick these Villans on the breach,
no more of them will we,
But Britain, better manners teach
for Hey Boyes up go we.

But if they Chance to Temporize,
and foster sond suspicions,
And tell King James of their Franchees,
their Charter and Conditions;

thus Hey Boies up go we.

The sins of the long Parliament,
he'll visite them upon,
Their other Crimes and Heinous faults,
which since are come and gone,
Of Westminster and Oxfoord too

He hath an Jrish Job to do,
so Hey Boies up go we.

And that he may Facilitat,

By Toleration, Lull asleep,
the Rogues, and them beguile,
Some subtile potions he'll compose,
of Grace and Clemencie,
To blunt all those, who him oppose,
so Hey Boyes up go we.
