[To William Somerville]
with hou much art and turn polite
can Som'rill['s] Muse with Ease
Throw off the sour and draw the sweet
and every party please
can Som'rill['s] Muse with Ease
Throw off the sour and draw the sweet
and every party please
while Britains Mighty King's refusd
by a Bold British swain
to Pass who deems himself ill usd
if broke his Bounded plain
by a Bold British swain
to Pass who deems himself ill usd
if broke his Bounded plain
The slave whose neck admires the yoke
and licks a Tyrants hand
will say this should a prince provoke
and racks & Ropes demand
and licks a Tyrants hand

while on the other rugged side
the Oliverian sour
run out as far and take a pride
t'affront and tred on power
the Oliverian sour
run out as far and take a pride
t'affront and tred on power
from Both extreams your Equal mind
Both prince & subject clear
in Lays perspicous and refined
from flatery free & fear

The farmer who so bold behaves
you raise above Base Loads
And George who scorns to reign o'er slavves
you've clasd among the Gods

And George who scorns to reign o'er slavves
you've clasd among the Gods
