From the London Magazine, March 1769.
Supposed to be sung by each dissenting teacher, who affects
to wear a clerical gown. 
[To the tune of the Vicar of Bray.]
  The orators of Greece and Rome
  Wore gowns; yea,--every sage, sir,
  And yet the silly folk, at home,
  With me are in rage, sir.
  But this is law I will maintain
  Unto my dying day, sir, 
  I'll not pull off my gown again,
  Whatever people say, sir.
