' I said to our Poll—(for you fee (he would cry)
Whe<rlaft we weigh'd anchor for sea,
'« WhUtargnfies fniv'ling and piping your eye?
Why what a poor foul you ciuft be!
Can't you fee the world's wide, and there's room
CT: for us all,
Both for seamen and lubbers ashore,
And if to old Dav, I fliould go my dear Poll,
Why you never will hear of me more!
What then all's a hazard, come don't be so foft,
Perhaps I may laughing come back,
'For d'ye fee there's a cherub fits fmilirig aloft.
To keep .watch for the life of Poor Jack. 4
l'fl)fye mind me, a sailor mould be ev'ry inch,
All as one as a piece of the ship, , * ;
And with her Grave the world, without ^ff'jing
——-toflineh,
From the moment the anchor's a trip.
As to me,in all weathers, all times,fides,& ends,
Nought's a trouble from duty that springs— (
-My heart is my Poll's—and my rhine my friends;
And ii lor my Jife--'tis the King's:,-
Even when my time comes,ne'er believe me so foft
As ,itb grief to be taken a back---
* Th^t fame little cherub that fits up a loft,.
Will lock' out a good birth for,--Poor Jack.

'diculous, as well is unconstitutional—or be does

he is an hypocrite worthy all abhorrence.
It is true, the populace have been riotous for
mobs.are the fame in all countries. But when [
reded on the ages in which the populace of France
have,been in bondage—on the millions of plebians
who have been plundered, imprisoned, and exe
cuted through the cruelty and caprice of the mo
narch, or some subordinate tyrants, I am asto
nished at the moderation of the poofwhip-galled
Slaves ; and candidly own that I Should have, par
doned—though not approved—much greater ex
cesses, had they been committed in the moment of
emancipation, when the lex talionis, the law of re
tribution, muff operate very powerfully on vulgar
minds.<
Estimate the blood and treasure expended When
James, a King after Mr. Burke's own heart, fought
for his hereditary crown in Ireland, and again in
Scotland, and theq fell me if it be not mockery, a
fol^ no abufeof words, to talk of a bloodless revo
lution in England In fad, the revolution in En
gland commented early in the seventeenth century;
it colt p-.e monarch his life, a second was exiled,
and a third we abjure.
It is wisdom therefore id the ''bloody, ferocious,
and t, annacai" all'embly of the people of France,
who by the way have not shed a drop of blood,
'nor even dawn the sword against the monarch—
it is: wisdom In #hem to guard against the measures
which pride might dictate, and despair accomplish
To fecare their chief magistrate, who had been
nursed in the tond idea tha. the people are as much
iWI property as his coach riorfes, was the belt policy
human intelligence could deyifeto prote& the na
'tion from the 'bloody, ferocious, and [tyrannical
#fcheme of a Pretender# Andisthere a patriot, is
.there , philosopher in this island, whole heart is
''not filled with rapture at the glorious progress of
freedom in France? Impossible ! every enlightened
_mind uncontaminated by abase designing heart,
muff rejoice in the enterprise and pant for its con

aT'O patter to lubbers and swabs, d'y^ fee,
'Bout danger, and fear, and the like ;
A tight water boat, and good sea-room give me,
. And it ant to a little I'll strike,
Tho' the tempest top-gallant masts imack smooth
should finite, ^
& And ffiiver each splinter of wood=
Clear the wreck, flow the yards and bowle every
thing tight, • -
And under reef'd forefail we'll feud;
Avast ! nor don't think me a milk-fop, so foft,
To be taken for trifles a-back ;
'For they fay, there's a Providence fits up a loft
„; To keep watch for— the life of Poor jack.
' Why I heard the good chaplain palavar one day
.About Soul, Heaven, Mercy, and such ;,
, Aqdmy timbers ! what lingo he'd coil arid belay ;
"Why 'twas just all as one as high Dutch,
But, he faid,how a sparrow can't founder d'ye fee,
Without order, that come down below ;
And ',anv fine things, that prov'd clearly to me,
That Providence takes us in tow.
For fays he, d'ye mind me, let (terms e'er io oft
Take the top lifts of sailors a back,

To keep watch for—the life of Poor Jacki
