YOUNG JEMMY. An Excellent New Ballad, To an Excellent New Tune.  

[1]  
YOung jemmy is a Lad  
That's Royally descended;  
With every Virtue clad,  
By every Tongue commended:  
A true and faithful English Heart;  
Great Brittain's Joy and Hope,  
And bravely will maintain their Part,  
In spite of Turk and Pope.   

[2]  
Young jemmy is a Lad  
That hates all base Pretences;  
No Tory Masquerade,  
With Popish Sham-Pretences;  
A Heart and Soul so Great and Just,  
Such Conduct and Command;  
A Champion in his Country's Trust,  
Young jemmy still will stand.   

[3]  
Young jemmy is a Youth,  
Who thinks it no Transgression  
To stand up for the Truth  
And Protestant Profession;  
But Oh! He fights with such Success,  
All Mortal Powers obey;  
No God of War but must confess  
Young jemmy bears the sway.   

[4]  
At Iemmy's powerful Voice  
The Drums and Trumpets sounded;  
And England did rejoice  
When Iemmy's Fame abounded.  
Of jemmy the victorious Name  
Did through all Europe fly,  
And all the Nations did proclaim  
His matchless Gallantry.   

[5]  
In Mastricht and in France,  
In Germany and Flanders,  
Young jemmy did advance  
Amongst the Chief Commanders:  
By Sea and Land his Fame did fly,  
And all the Nations round  
Of Iemmy's Constant Victory  
And Valour did resound.   

[9]  
In Scotland Iemmy's Hand  
Dispersed the Whig and Tory;  
And Bothwel-Bridge will stand  
To his Eternal Glory:  
There he the Rebels Force withstood,  
And did Their Might oppose,  
Both for the King and Countries Good,  
In spite of all his Foes.   

[7]  
But Oh! unhappy Fates!  
A Curse on Pride and Malice;  
The Popish Plotting-States  
Have banished him the palace:  
They turned him out of Grace of late,  
Of Dignity and Fame,  
And every mighty Place of State,  
Yet Iemmy's still the same.   

[8]  
Maliciously they Plot  
(Against all Sense and Reason)  
Against Shaftsbury and Scot,  
To Cloak their Popish Treason:  
Tories and Papists all agree  
To blast his spotless Fame;  
But, 'spight of all their Policy,  
Young Iemmy's still the same.   

[9]  
For, still to lose his Blood  
Young jemmy does importune,  
And for his Country's Good  
To spend his Life and Fortune,  
For to support the Church and State,  
Our Liberties and Laws,  
Against their Malice, Plots and Hate  
That would our Rights oppose.   

[10]  
Let all good men implore  
For Iemmy's Restauration,  
Whose Conduct must restore  
The Ruins of our Nation;  
That he to Charles' Praise may live  
Our Freedom to maintain,  
When jemmy shall his Fame retrieve,  
And be in Grace again.
