PREPARATION ON THE FRENCH COAST FOR AN INVASION.
With lanthorn jaws and croaking gut,
See how the half starv'd Frenchmen strut,
And call us English Dogs;
But soon we'll teach those bragging foes,
That beef and beer give heavier blows,
Than soup and roasted frogs.

PREPARATIONS IN ENGLAND TO OPPOSE THE INVASION.
See John the soldier, Jack the tar,
With sword and pistol arm's for war,
Should Monsieur dare come here;
The hungry slaves have smelt our food,
They long to taste our flesh and blood,
Old England's beef and beer.
