The following parody of the ballad of the Vicar of Bray . .
. [5 lines introduction, signed] A. Camtae.
In George the second's golden days,
When mod'rate men look'd big Sir;
My country's rights I did maintain,
(Of course I was a Whig Sir;)
And so preferment I procur'd
By our true faith's defender,
And always ev'ry day abjur'd
The Pope and the Pretender
And this the law I will maintain
Until my dying day Sir,
And whatsoever King shall reign
I will receive my pay Sir.
. . . [3 more verses]
