 And us the true enjoyment, Of what ſprings from the plow.
 * May heavens ſend proſperity

And long live our king, For we’ve had many peaceful days And plenty in his reign And may our foes by George’s ſword Be glad for peace to ſue And let us ſay with one accord, God ſpeed the painful plow.
 * I hope there’s none offended,

At me for ſinging this, For it is not intended For to be ta’en amiſs, If ye conſider rightly, You’ll ſay ’tis all but true, All trades that I have mentioned Lives by the painful plow.
