Ned Farmer's Scrap Book.

Here's Jack-in-the-box; quick march—quick march;
The guardians of Time; quick march;
Whose deeds, (not extensive,) are nation expensive,
Now, take open order; quick march—quick march;
Left shoulders forward; quick march.


Here's a sight in good earnest; the Duke—the Duke;
A sight worth the seeing; the Duke!
No wonder the crowd of their hero are proud,
Hark! hark, how they're shouting, 'the Duke—the Duke!'
"Health, strength, and long life to the Duke!"


Stand aside, here's the Whigs; sweet lot—sweet lot;
Make room for the Whigs; sweet lot;
With fife and with drum, recruiting they come;
Now, who'll take the shilling? sweet lot—sweet lot,
Now, who'll take the shilling? sweet lot!


Look after that party; look out—look out;
They're a promising party; look out;
And have lately been made, the household brigade;
But they're not fit for service: look out—look out;
Right about, face; look out!
