A TRUE SONG.
jack Frenchman is comTiig, we're taught for to think.
o Date our Pudding, Roaß Beef, and ftrong Drink;
But that is not all, for when they've do: e picking, •
They'll tread all our hens, and kill all our chicken.
Derry down, down deny down
Then let us Rand true, like old Englifh folk,
Fora bundle of flick% is hard to be broke;
And let each Englifbman fight fur Lis Fame,
And keep jack Frenchman from his Pudding and Dame.
Before they tafte Mea•. they mutt always fay Grace,
And before they kifs Dame they mutt have a clean Face;
There will be no lots, but I think a great Caving,
If ere they touch ICII nC e thould have a clean Raving.
Now this is the plan I would with to adopt,
A Jarman Steel Razor and Feerc u led round Strop ";
Well fisave them much clofis than all Chriftian men,
As you know their Sabbath is one day in ten.
You'll ezeufc me, Monfieur, If my Razor 'hook! flip,
And make an incision juft under your lip:
I know you will pardon, if I am not to blame,
And you have your fill after of Pudeling and Dame.
Our Children and Chicken to us are the fame
As Remit Beef and Plumb Pudding, or my old Englifh Dame;
My Ring, %lee°, and PrlneelTes,--they're all of them dear—.
Draw your (words, my dear bop, We have nothing to fear !
