[From a late London Paper.]
On the Promotion of Lord GEORGE SACKVILLE GER.
MAIN, to be Secretary of the American Department.
Tune of “ A Cobler there was," &c.
Y E P oor filly people, who foolifhly think,
£ That the glory of Britain is likely to fink;
Your affairs will soon prosper, recover your frights,
For the hero of Minden will set them to rights.
Derry down, down, down, derry down.
'Tis true, that we all have forne ca^fe to complain
Of the laurels we got by the summer's campaign,
But henceforward our arms without doubt will (ucceed,
Since so great a commander has taken the Jead.
Derry down, &c.
Our Premier, a peaceable, good kind of man.
Don't seem over fond of his vigorous plan,;
But since war is a measure he's forc'd to pursue,
He has chose a fit person to carry it through.
/ Derry down, &c.
His purpose, what man so delightfully fits ?
Why, he'll frighten America out of her wits :
Ev'n his name 'mongft the rebels will spread such alarms,
At the found on't they'll all of 'em lay down their arms.
Derry down, &c.
His judgment, sometimes, when the enemy's near,
Is weaken'd, 'tis true, by the passion of fear;
But now having th' Atlantic 'twixt him and his foe,
All his talents for war he'll intrepidly show.
Derry down, &c.
'Gainft the foes of Great-Britain, the legions of France,
Prince Ferdinand thought him but loth to advance ;
'Gainft his countrymen none can his ardour impeach,
For he's ready enough, but they're out of his reagh.
Derry down, &c.
How furpris'd will our Gen'ials his orders receive !
With wha; joy they'll obey what he bids them achieve !
Since they all must conclude from his being in place,
To be broke and caftiier'd is not thought a disgrace.
Derry down, &c.
His spirit must soon make the Colonies yield,
For he's bold in the council, tho' flack in the field ;
And such orders he'll issue, whilst fafe from the form,
As he'd rather be d—d than be forc'd to perform.
Derry down, &c.
Then droop not, Britannia, but lift up your voice,
And join in applauding this excellent choice ;
For though Sackville once left on your glories a stain.
Your disgraces will all be repair'd by Germain.
Derry down, &c.
