THE LOYAL HEALTH.
A Court Song,

to a Delicate new Tune, called, At the Foot of a Willow, close under the Shade.

I.

SInce Plotting's a Trade,

Like the rest of the Nation.

Let 'em Lie, and Swear on,

To keep up the Vocation;

Let Tinkers, and Weavers,

And Joyners agree,

To find work for the Cooper,

They'l have none of me;

Let Politick Shams,

In the States-man abound,

While we quaff our Bumpers,

And set the Glass round:

The jolly true Toper's

The best Subject still,

Who drinks off his Liquor,

And thinks no more ill.

2.

Then let us stand to't,

And like honest Men fall,

Who love King and Country,

Duke, Dutchess and all;

Not such as wou'd blow up

The Nation by stealth,

And out of the flame

Raise a new Common-wealth.

Nor such, who against Church

And Bishops do rage,

To advance old Jack Presbyter,

On the new Stage.

But to all honest Tories,

Who'l fight for their King,

And to Crown the brave Work,

With the Court wee'l begin.

3.

Here's a Health to the King,

And his Lawful Successors,

To honest Tantivies,

And Loyal Addressors;

But a pox take all those,

That promoted Petitions

To Poyson the Nation,

And stir up Seditions;

Here's a Health to the Queen,

And her Ladies of Honour,

And a pox take all those,

That put Sham-Plots upon her.

Here's a Health to the Duke,

And the Senate of Scotland,

To all honest Men,

That from Bishops ne're got-Land.

4.

Here's a Health to L'estrange,

And the boon Heraclitus:

With true Tory Thompson

Who never did slight us;

But confounding Broom, Paulin,

And Alderman Wrightus,

With Tony and Bethel,

Ignoramus, and Titus

Here's a Health to the Church,

And all those that are for it,

Gonfusion to Zealots,

And Whigs that abhor it;

May it ever be safe,

From the new mode Refiners:

And Justice be done

Upon Coopers and Joyners.

5.

Here's a Health to old Hall—,

Who our joys did restore;

And pox take each Popular

Son of a Whore;

To the Spaniard and Daxe,

The brave Russian and Moor,

Who come from far Nations,

Our King to adore;

To all that do Worship,

The God of the Vine,

And to old Jolly Bowman

Who draws us good Wine;

And as for all Traytors,

Whether Baptist or Whig,

May they all trot to Tyburn,

To dance the old Jig.

6.

Here's a Health to all those,

Love the King and his Laws,

And may they near Pledge it

That Broach the Old Cause.

Here's a Health to the State,

And a Plague on the Pack

Of Common-wealth Canters

And Presbyter Jack;

To the uppermost pendent

That ever did play

On the highest Top-gallant

Oth' Soveraign oth' Sea;

And he that denies,

To the Standard to lore,

May he sink in the Ocean,

And never Drink more.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
