XTOW the a&ive young attornies
Briskly fraVelon thair jourhies,
Looking big as any giants,
On tiie hqrfes of their, clients, J I
All with whips and spurs so neat, । '
And with jockey coats complete,
And with boots so very greasy,
And with feddles eke so easy.
And with bridles fine and gay,
.Bridles borrow’d for a dayyn
Bridles deftin’d far to roam,
Ah ! never, never to come home,"
And with hats so very big,'Sir, -i
And with powder’d locksand wigs, Sir,
And with ruffles to be (hown.
Cambric ruffles not their own,
And with Holland (hirts so white.
Shirts becoming to the site-.
Shirts be wrought with different letters,
As belonging to their betters, '
With their pretty tinfel’d boxes.
Gotten from their dainty doxies,
And with very little pence,
And as very little sense,
With some law but little juflice,
Having stolen from my hostess.
From the barber and the cutler.
Like the soldier from the sutler;
From the;vinter,and the taylor,
Like the felon from the jailor;
Into this anti t’other county.
Living on the public bounty ;
Thro’ the town and thro’ the village,
Al' to plunder, all to pillage;
Thro’the mountains, .thro’ the vallies, •
Thro’ the stinking lanes and alleys,
Some to —kiss with farmer’s fpouies,
And make merry in their boules;
Some to—-tumble country wenches,
On their rushy beds and benches.
And, it they begin a fray,
Curse and (wear, and—run-away ; .
AH to murder equity,
And to take a double fee ;
Till the pepple all are quiet.
And forget to broil and riot.
Low in pocket, cow’d in courage.
Safely glad to (up their porridge :
And the Session’s over—then.
Huzza, boys!—for home again.

if instead of fighting with us for
the power of taxing us, she had
kept us in a good humour by
allowing us to dispose of ourjawp'
moneys now and then giving us
a little of hers, byway of dona

for cutting canals, or fortifying
ports, she might easily have
