Note

[edit]

Additional verses are missing (as well as the last line of verse 3), presumably making up the right number of pages was more important than including complete songs.

The song continues (in this version) -

Here like a maukin I may stand,
With fingers below my breeches,
An dare not even move my hand,
Th scratch my head when it itches.
And then soap and flour, too,
Is plastered on my head, sir:
But for my king and country
I'll fight util I'm dad, sir.

Zounds! now my blood begins to rise,
It shows that I'm a Briton;
And, if the fow should dare to land,
Huzza! my boys! We'll spit 'em!
Each man must to his motto stand,
And that, you know, 's a lion;
If Englishmen go heart and hand,
Why, damn 'em we defy 'em.

Turns out that the next two pages are printed in the wrong order. Rich Farmbrough, 14:38 5 May 2020 (GMT)
