THE Romans in England once did ſway,

The Saxons they after them led the way,

And they tug'd with the Danes till an over-throw

They both of them had with the Norman bow

Yet barring all pother, the one or the other

Were all of them Kings in their turn.

Little Willy, the Conqueror, long did reign

Tho' Billy, his ſon, by an arrow was ſlain.

And Harry the firſt was a ſcholar bright.

Tho' Stephy was forc'd for his Crown to fight

Yet barring, &c.

Second Harry Plantagenet's name did bear,

And Cour de Lion was his ſon and heir;

But Magna Charta we gain’d from John,

Which Harry the third put his ſeal upon.

Yet barring, &c.

There's Tiddy the firſt, a lion bold,

The Second by rebels was bought and ſold.

And Tiddy the third was his ſubjects pride

Tho’ his grandſon Dickie was poped aſide.

Yet barring, &c.
