    "What, though the zealots pull down the prelates,
    Push at the pulpit and kick at the Crown,
    Shall we yet never once more endeavour,
    And strive to purchase our ancient renown?
    Shall not the Roundhead soon be confounded?
    Sa- sa- sa- say, boys; ha- ha- ha- hey, boys!
    Then we’ll return with triumph and joy.
    Then we’ll be merry, drink claret and sherry,
    Cast up our caps, and cry, VIVE LE ROY!”
