Great A stands for Asses in the Administration,
And B for the Blunders of the British Nation;

Who may now employ himself singing Lampoons.
And likewise for Courtiers, when cringing for Pension.
And D, for the Devil, to aid their Invention.

Till curst with who all Virtue disclaim'd.

And G, stands for Going, when ere they depart.

Who think to subdue by Sword and Oppression.
