SONG,

To the Tune of Mother Casey.

THE French, tis ſaid,
Are thieves by trade,
And well they fill the function ;
For where they go,
Both friend and foe,
They rob without compunction.

They've ſqueez'd ſo much
The Swiſs and Dutch,
That there the harveſt's over ;
So now they ſwear,
They'll boldly dare,
To land their troops at Dover.

They've fram'd a plan
(That's if they can)
To chain us two and two, Sirs ;
And Gallia's cock,
From Cherbourg rock,
Keeps crying, Doodle doo, Sirs.

But Johnny Bull
Will have a pull,
And put them in a flurry ;
With dauntleſs heart
He'll play his part,
And well their hides he'll curry.

They think, no doubt,
To tire him out,
And make him quit the battle ;
But, deuce take John,
If he'll be gone,
Whilſt one is left to tattle.

Although they now
Exalt their brow,
Whilſt others fear to grumble,
We'll let them ſee,
By Jove! that we
Can ſtill theſe braggarts humble.

Baſe Robeſpierre,
In his career,
Was prais'd in each oration ;
But when his head
Flew off, they ſaid,
He well deſerv'd damnation:

So Bonapart,
With treach'rous heart,
If on ſome gibbet ſwinging,
With gen'ral voice,
Would France rejoice,
And ſet the bells a-ringing.

As cats a mouſe,
They others chouſe
By ſome dam'd hollow practice ;
But when they find
Things to their mind,
They then ſhew how the fact is.

Then ev'ry man
Unfolds his plan,
Which is to kill and plunder ;
All laws to break,
All thrones to ſhake,
And burſt all ties aſunder.

Yet for ſuch pains
How ſmall their gains,
What ſeas of doubt they're toſt in !
In this world vext,
And in the next
They'll, not I think, be boaſting.

Then, John, be wife,
Uſe both your eyes,
And make a ſtout reſiſtance ;
For well you know,
One hearty blow,
Will drive them to a diſtance.
