And after him the second Charles returned to England fair,

And claimed that to her glorious crown he was the lawful heir.

Then after him the bigot James, the second of his name,

Who was deposed from England's throne and earned a crown of shame;

Then good King William called the Third, and Mary, his good wife,

They ruled o'er happy England and banished horrid strife,

But leaving no good children to whom the throne could fall

Poor sickly Anne, whose heart was big but brains so very small,

As James's second daughter succeeded to the crown
