Now Whitehall's in the grave | B |
And our head is our slave | B |
The bright pearl in his close shell of oyster | C |
Now the miter is lost | D |
The proud Praelates too crost | D |
And all Rome's confin'd to a cloister | C |
He that Tarquin was styl'd | D |
Our white land's exil'd | D |
Yea undefil'd | D |
Not a court ape's left to confute us | E |
Then let your voyces rise high | A |
As your colours did flye | A |
And flour'shing cry | A |
Long live the brave Oliver Brutus | E |

II | A |
Now the sun is unarm'd | D |
And the moon by us charm'd | D |
All the stars dissolv'd to a jelly | F |
Now the thighs of the Crown | G |
And the arms are lopp'd down | G |
And the body is all but a belly | F |
Let the Commons go on | H |
The town is our own | I |
We'l rule alone | I |
For the Knights have yielded their spent gorge | J |
And an order is tane | I |
With HONY SOIT profane | I |
Shout forth amain | I |
For our Dragon hath vanquish'd the St George | J |
