NEW SONG.
A Pennard man set sail for Spain,
To deal in merchandise;
4-140,.:4Vosooner he arriv'd there than
Spaniard he espies (bis).

Who says « You English dog, look here,
Rich fruits, and spices fine (bis)
Our is tnd produces twice a year (bis),
That, 'st no such fruits in thine (bis)."
• The Peuoard man went to the hold,
And brought up a Pennard cheese ;
Says he" You Spanish dog, behold,
Thou'st no such fruits as these ;
" Your land produces twice a year
What proudly you display ;
But such as now my hands do bear
Our lands give twice a day."
Zeal fired each honest Pennard breast
When they this triumph knew ;
And fifty blythe young dairy maids
Resolved some feat to do.
To drove their loyal heartfelt vows,
What could they offer more,
Than seven hundred and fifty cows
To yield their precious store?
T aese Pennard dames then built a cheese,
The like was never seen ;
'T was made, and press'd, and fit to please
,Our gracious Lady Queen.
And, wedded to her Royal Love,
Ma v blessings on her fall ;
'Ad Pennard cheese, at dinner, prove
The best thing, after all
