The Good old Dames when ever they the Chimney Man espied; Unto their Nooks they'd hast away, their Pots, and Pipkins hid: But now those Bugbears are plucked down, you hated thus to see; You now may use what e'er's your own, from straining you are free. depiction of a male figure or cleric or churchman holding a stick facing right depiction of a male figure or peasant holding a long stick or staff There is not one Old Dame in Ten, and search the Nation through; But when you talk of Chimney Men, shall spare a Curse or two: Let us unto our Gracious King, our grateful thanks repay, For doing such a generous thing, as take this Tax away. Now happy Times are coming on, let's pray that they may last; For now the Chimney Tax is gone, our chiefest care is past: We'll in our Country Cottage sing, and push the jugg about; We'll drink an Health unto our King, till all our Liquour's out. No Nation e'er could be more blest, or greater ease enjoy; We of those Rights are repossessed, which Popery did destroy: From cares and fears we are set free, our King such Bounty gives; Each Man enjoys his Liberty, and like a Prince he lives. The Chimney-Money, which oppressed the people that are poor; Such grievances are now redressed, and will be felt no more: How blest and happy is our Land, in such a Gracious King, Whose Noble Heart and Giving Hand, doth all these Blessings bring? The Country Wives now need not fear to bring their Pewter forth; Or let their shining shelves declare their Cleanliness and Worth: For Chimney Men no more will come or take your Goods away; You safely may enjoy your home, there's no such Tax to pay. Our loving Gracious King and Queen. may Heaven ever bless; God give them both a Prosperous Reign and Crown their Happiness; May they those Enemies destroy, that 'gainst them do Conspire; And may they here on Earth enjoy. all Blessings they desire.
