ASTONISHING

ABRAHAM NEWLAND.


NEVER was a man ſo bandied by Fame,
Thro' air, thro’ ocean, and thro’ land,
As one that is wrote upon every Bank Note,
And you all muſt know Abraham Newland.

O! Abraham Newland!
Notorious Abraham Newland!
I've heard people ſay, ſham Abraham you may,
But you mus’n’t ſham Abraham Newland.

For faſhion or arts, ſhould you ſeek foreign parts,
it matters not, where-ever you Land;
From Chriſtian to Greek all language will ſpeak,
Iſ the language of Abraham Newland.

O! Abraham Newland!
Aſtoniſhing Abraham Newland!
Whatever you lack, you’ll get in a crack,
By the credit of Abraham Newland.

But what do you think, without victuals or drink,
You may tramp like the wand’ring Jew land,
From Dublin to Dover, nay, all the world over,
If a ſtranger to Abraham Newland.

O! Abraham Newland!
Wonderful Abraham Newland!
Tho' with compliments cramm'd, you may die out of hand,
If you hav'n't an Abraham Newland,

The world are inclin'd to think Juſtice is blind,
Yet Lawyers know well ſhe can view land;
But what of all that?—ſhe'll blink like a bat
At the ſight of a friend, Abraham Newland.

O! Abraham Newland!
Magical Abraham Newland!
Tho' Juſtice, 'tis known, can ſee thro'a mill-ſtone,
She can't ſee thro' Abraham Newland.

Your Patriots who bawl, for the good of us all,
And, good ſouls, like muſhrooms thay ſtrew land,
But tho' loud as a drum, each proves Orator Mum,
If attack'd by ſtout Abraham Newland.

O! Abraham Newland!
Invincible Abraham Newland.
No argument's found in the world half ſo ſound,
As the logic of Abraham Newland.

The French ſay they're coming, but ſurely they're humming:
We know what they want, if they do land:
But we'll make their ears ring in defence of our King,
Our country and Abraham Newland.

O! Abraham Newland!
Excellent Abraham Newland!
No tri-colour'd elf, nor the devil himſelf,
Shall rob us of Abraham Newland,
