Says John Bull, “tho' to aid this vile War I am loth,
They say 'tis my int'rest and principle both;
But of all I was worth by some fellows bereft
I have got neither Int'rest nor Principal left.”
They say 'tis my int'rest and principle both;
But of all I was worth by some fellows bereft
I have got neither Int'rest nor Principal left.”

For 'tis indeed too dear to live in.
To every Englishman is dear,—
All to this truth must surely give in,
