Huzza for honest Aytoun - first lines read: The Whigs are vap'ring through the toun, / Wi' Campbell, counsel o' the Croun- / As if a Lunnon lawyer loon / Could ere compete wi' Aytoun.
The clique - first lines read: Come all you stout radicals, honest and true, / Who hate both the name of a whig and a sneak.
Huzza for honest Aytoun - Tune - The auld wife ayont the fire.
The clique - Tune - Och, Paddy, my honey, take care of your money.
