IN FEBRUARY 1741-2.
WHEN to each other's fond embrace,
The son and father came;
Both parties lik'd the thing so much,
That they too did the same.

Will scarce believe these stories;
Lions may couple now with lambs,
When Whigs embrace with Tories.

Lions may couple now with lambs,
When Whigs embrace with Tories.
But disappointments very soon
Will lessen this affection;
And tho' now party names are dead,
They'll have a resurrection.

And tho' now party names are dead,
They'll have a resurrection.
And when the day of judgment comes,
To loosen these embraces;
Then some shall go and gnash their teeth,
And some to happy places.
