 * to demolish buns and ale, Sir. O the, &c.

Then the folks ev'ry Sunday,
 * went twice at least to church,

And never left the Parson, or
 * his sermon in the church, Sir;

For they judg'd that the Sabbath was
 * for people to be good in, Sir;

And they thought it Sabbath-break
 * if they din'd without a pudding Sir. O the, &c

Then our great men were good,
 * and our good men were great, Sir,

And the propsect the nation were
 * the pillars of the state Sir;

For the sovereign and subject
 * one in cross supported,

And our powerful alliance by
 * all powers then was occurred o the, &c

Then the High and Mighty States,
 * to their everlasting frain, Sir;

 * the galling yoke of Spain, Sir;

And the roused British Lion
 * had all Europe then combin'd Sir,

 * like chast before the wind, O the, &c

Thus they are and they drank,
 * and they worked, and they play'd, Sir,
