The wonder of the whole, I true,
For all the rest may to it bow,
And that's baith ane and a':
What numbers from them do get bread!
For many a family by them is fed,
And every week their money's paid,
For Call-again by them's kill'd dead,
And far he's ſent awa', awa', &c.

Their Ships ſend terror unto France,
For to our coasts if they advance,
They ſoon will make them reel and dance,
They ne'er will get awa':
Like Men-of-War they do appear,
When up to London they do steer;
For France and Spain they do nor fear,
Becaſe they dare not them come near,
At home nor far awa', awa'. &c.

Great Authors do reſound our fame,
And celebrate our ancient name,
Our Arthur's Oven and dyke of Graham,
That's heard of far awa.
Then let a health, my friends, go round,
With peace and plenty we abound;
'Mongst us no want is to be found.
Of wars may we ne er hear the ſound,
But from us far awa', awa',
But from us far awa'.
