Sir S. G's Petition to the good People of Ag---sham.
My Petition, good People of A---m, hear,
For now my Heart aches, and my Head's full of Care;
For I find I have too much Reason to fear
That you will not chuse me a Member.
For now my Heart aches, and my Head's full of Care;
For I find I have too much Reason to fear
That you will not chuse me a Member.

My Qualifications I will rehearse,
Which I pray you amongst my Electors disperse,
And to shew you my Parts I will do it in Verse.
I hope you will chuse me a Member.
Which I pray you amongst my Electors disperse,
And to shew you my Parts I will do it in Verse.
I hope you will chuse me a Member.
Since a Knighthood I got, and an Alderman's Gown,
With these I set up for to bully the Town,
Tho some say I'm the arrantest Coxcomb that's known;
O therefore pray chuse me a Member.
With these I set up for to bully the Town,
Tho some say I'm the arrantest Coxcomb that's known;
O therefore pray chuse me a Member.
The Marks of my Church you may see in my Face,
I've the Wit of a Goose, and the Brains of an Ass,
And my Phiz--- has been often rubb'd over with Brass;
O therefore pray chuse me a Member.
I've the Wit of a Goose, and the Brains of an Ass,
And my Phiz--- has been often rubb'd over with Brass;
O therefore pray chuse me a Member.
I could show you my Love to the Young Prince of Wales,
But I am afraid you'l be telling of Tales,
By my Actions you see I look to'ard Versailles;
O therefore pray chuse me a Member.
But I am afraid you'l be telling of Tales,
By my Actions you see I look to'ard Versailles;
O therefore pray chuse me a Member.
But Sir Thomas's Work-house afflicts me full sore,
Who obliges the Town by employing the Poor;
But I and my Lord will destroy't to our Pow'r.
O therefore pray chuse us both Members.
Who obliges the Town by employing the Poor;
But I and my Lord will destroy't to our Pow'r.
O therefore pray chuse us both Members.
If a Fool and a Knave you've a mind to obtain,
You will find that your labour will not be in vain,
If we the Election do happen to gain,
By being both chosen your Members.
You will find that your labour will not be in vain,
If we the Election do happen to gain,
By being both chosen your Members.
