A New TOUCH on the TIMES.

To it's own Proper Tune.

GEORGE he is the mildeſt King,
that ever ſat on Britain's throne,
Behold how wiſely he has acted,
to his ſubjects every one.

But we're of a rebellious nature,
and our minds are ne'er content,
Likewiſe the moſt of our reflection,
are on the King and Parliament.

There's quakers, new lights, independents,
methodiſts and ſwadlers too,
Thoſe minions and finions,
are they not a filthy crew.

Thoſe hypocrites that live amongſt us,
our religion they deſpiſe,
Empty fools without foundation,
neither loyal, juſt nor wiſe.

Our churchmen they are little better,
if the truth it were all known,
They take the King for Britain's head,
but part of's laws they will not own.

'Tis brotherly love's gone from amongſt us,
neighbours they cannot agree,
They ſpend their money on the law,
and bring themſelves to poverty.
