The Night-walkers; Or, The Loyal HUZZA. Since Treason never wanted a Pretence, Sure Virtues chiefest Guard is Innocence; But I'll not trust her with it at this time, For fear I make my Innocence a Crime: Imposing Man may Virtue backward draw, Therefore I'll Guard her with a loud Huzza. To the Tune of, On the Bank of a River, etc. THe Town is our own, when the Streets are all clear; We manage the humour, and laugh at all fear; Then down goes the Bully, the Heck, and Night-Walker; The whispering Cully, and every loud Talker: The Constable flies, and his Clubmen withdraw; When they hear the fierce cries of the dreadful Huzza: The Constable; etc. [2] We neither do spare then, Gown, Surplice, nor Sword, But draw up our Forces, and give them the Word: Down down goes the Lawyer, the Priest, and the Captain; And woe to the House that a Candle is kept in: We'll make the Glass fly, and the Pimps stand in awe, When they hear the fierce cry of the Dreadful Huzza: We'll make the Glass, etc. [3] Mistake us not neither, for all our loud Huffing; We'll scorn and abhor to the Name of a Russian: Our Prince we do Honour, and all that are Loyal; The Duke and his Interest, but Whigg we defy all: And those who'd change Kings, without Reason or Law, We'll make them to swing, or observe our Huzza: And those, etc. [4] If a Yea of a Nay, or a brave of the Court, Or a Canting soft Sister, that's fit for the sport, Down Tabytha goes then, the Saint and the Wicked, Tho' they're Lungs are consumed, till they sing like a Cricket: We'll make 'em strain high, to declare for our Law, And advance the fierce cry, of the Dreadful Huzza: we'll make, etc. [5] Huzza is the Word, wheresoever we go, We own not a Friend, nor we fear not a Foe: The Wine in our heads, and the Sword in our hands, Are able to baffle The City Train'dbands: We scorn to subscribe to your Reason or Law, Since we have a Tribe to maintain the Huzza: We scorn, etc. [6] If we chance for to meet with a party Bravading, In Modish Harangues, or in brisk Sarranading; Our Link-Boys do summons to silence their Piping, Which strait they obey, for fear of our Fight: The Squires and their Pipers, submit and withdraw, Whilst we give the Ladies a swinging Huzza: The Squires, etc. [7] Some Play, Swear, and Whore, some do Plot, Pimp, and Pad, Some Writ till they're laughed at, some Read till they're Mad: Some Rail and Lampoon, till their Wits are quite weary, But on the Huzza, we can never Miscarry: We make the Rogues fly, or embrace our New Law, And advance the fierce Cry of the dreadful Huzza: we'll make, etc. FINIS.
