FUTURE PROSPECTS of TAXATION.

OH is there not a piece of work,
Throughout the British Nation,
We daily do expect to see
A pretty alteration ;
Whatever do they mean to do
Great Britain kindly axes,
Without delay John Bull did say
They'll load me well with taxes.

                        CHORUS.
The Tories de declare aloud,
They will purge the British Nation,
They will lead the people by the nose,
And feed them on taxation.

They'll clap a penny on the tea,
Threehalfpence on the cabbages,
A half-a-crown on pickled pork,
And fourpence on the sausages ;
Fivepence on a washing tub,
Eightpence on a soldier,
And one and ninepence halfpennyo
A small cod's head and shoulders.

They'll lay twopence on a pint of beer,
A shilling on a Quaker,
Ninepence on a tailor's goose,
And sixpence on a baker ;
Eightpence on a barber's clerk,
Five farthings on a pankin,
A half-penny on a sugar stick,
And a penny on a napkin.

They will tax the dirty cobbler's stall,
And the greasy butcher, right slap,
They'll lay twopence on the l dies' stays,
And threepence on their night caps :
Three halfpence on a water butt,
A shilling on a drying stand,
One and twopence on the rolling pin,
And ninepence on a frying pan.

A sovereign duty on a mackintosh,
A farthing on a muscle,
A half a crown on piekl'd eels,
And sixpence on the bustles ;
On the ladies' whiskers threepence,
Indeed that's very shocking,
Ninepence on a new chemise,
And threepence on their stockings.

A shilling on the farmer's plough,
Five shillings on the barrow,
A penny on the canary bird,
Three halfpence on the sparrow ;
A penny on the lineet,
And five farthings on the magpie,
Sixpence on a turkey cock,
And ninepence on a pig's stye.

Two and twopence on the bull,
Five farthings on the monkey,
Six and sixpe ce on the horse,
And threepence on the donkey
A penny on the cupboard door,
A shilling on the table,
Fourpence halfpenny on the baby's clouts,
And twopence on the cradle.

A penny on the ginger beer,
A halfpenny on the swipes, sir,
A penny farthing on the snuff,
Three halfpence on the pipes, sir;
Eightpence on the tea kettle,
Sixpence on the bellows,
Four shillings on the bed and sheets,
And tenpence on the pillows.

They are going to tax the ladies, who
In company will mingle,
Six shillings on the married folks,
And seven on the single ;
They'll lay threepence on the chairs.
Where you have often rested,
They'll shove twopence on the cham b r pot,
And threepence on the bedstead.

They'll lay sixpence duty on the hedges,
A shilling on the ditches,
Two and sixpence on the ladies' caps,
And eightpence on the breeches
Threefarthings on the candlestick,
One penny on the candle,
Twopence halfpenny on the broom,
And threepence on the handle.
