SONG.

To the Tune of " HEARTS OF OAK, &c."

SHALL FRENCHMEN RULE O'ER us?—King EDWARD said, NO !
And NO ! said King HARRY ; and QUEEN BESS she said, NO !
And NO ! said OLD ENGLAND ;—and NO ! she says still.
They shall never rule US ; let them try if they will.

Hearts of Oak We are all, both our Ships and our Men,
Then steady, Boys, steady,
Let's always be ready;
We have trimmed them before, let us trim them again.

                                                  2

SHALL FRENCHMEN RULE O'ER US ?—King GEORGE he says NO !
And NO ! say our LORDS, and our COMMONS they say NO !
And NO ! say ALL BRITONS of every degree :---------
They shall never rule Britons, UNITED AND FREE.
Hearts of Oak, &c.

                                                  3

Shall Frenchmen rule us, the FREE SONS OF THE WAVES ?
Shall England be ruled by a NATION OF SLAVES ?
Shall the CORSICAN TYRANT, who bound on their chains,
Govern US in the room of OUR GOOD KING who reigns ?
Hearts of Oak, &c.

                                                  4

Though HE'd fain stop our Press, yet we'll publish his shame ;
We'll proclaim to the World his detestable Fame :
How the Traitor RENOUNCED HIS REDEEMER, and then
How he MURDER'D HIS PRIS'NERS and POISON'D HIS MEN !
Hearts of Oak, &c.

                                                  5

Then, DOWN WITH THE TYRANT ! and DOWN WITH HIS ROD !
Let us stand by our FREEDOM, our KING, and our GOD !
Let us stand by our CHILDREN, our WIVES, and our HOMES !
Then WOE to the Tyrant WHENEVER HE COMES !
Hearts of Oak, &c.
