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

The world was inclin'd to think Juſice 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.

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

O, Abraham Newland !
Invincible Abraham Newland,
No argument's find is the work 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.
