ON JACK WILKE'S BIRTH-DAY, 1769.
Prove your hearts and shew your manners,
Ring your bells, and hoist your banners!
Marrow-bones and cleavers ring,
Wilke's riggle, Blackguards, sing!
. . . [21 lines]
Girles put on your gayest silkes,
Dance for Liberty and Wilkes.
. . . [8 lines]
Dame Fame damn, a noisey strumpet!
Kick her tail, and break her trumpet!
Treat the world and her with scorne,
What's her trumpet to your horne?
There's the instrument of joy,
He's the cushion-cuffing boy!
. . . [10 more lines]
