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, ſhame Abraham you may,
But you muſn't ſhame Abraham Newland,
For faſhion of arts ſhould you ſeek foreign parts,
It matters not wherever 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 Abrabam Newland.
But what do you think, without (illegible text) or drink,
You may tramp like the wand'ring Jew land,
From Dublin to Dover, nay, all the world over,
Iſ a stranger to Abraham Newland.
