You speak of me responsibility,
And prosper on my fall.

And Trade lost temper in his pride;
He uttered words OF scorn:

Amid your sheep and corn.
You doxe away the busy day,
Nor think how minutes run.
Go, put your shoulder to your work.

You've all the earth to yield you "eai'"

And all the people sang for joy,
To see their good accord,
While Spade assembled all his sons

And busy Trade sent fleets or ships

And built his mills and factories
Der all the prosperous land
And so We'll sing God save the Queen.
And long may Brother Trade,
For sake of both the rich aud poor
