As for the Spaniards, the Cortes, or King Ferdinand, I hope, dear Ma'am, you'll not suppose I care one pin, A motley ball at Almack's is consider'd quite "a bird in hand" By those, who on the decent nights cannot get in! Then come yourself, I hope you will, and bring your eldest daughter, Ma'am, And Susan Smith, who ran away, if Mr. Smith has caught her, Ma'am; Our husbands wish it, and they pay for every-thing to cram us with, The principle's the same as that which took us all to Hammersmith. Come, madam, come, 'tis now the time for capering, Pleasure's flag, at Willis's, is just unfurl'd. [Music: THE BEGGARS. A NEW SONG. Of all the trades a - go - ing, sure a beg - gar is the best, So said a good old Eng - lish song, which spoke the truth in jest; and a- beg - ging we will go, will go, will go, and a - beg - ging we will go.] Of all the beggars going, who prey on public pence, The Whig excels in wants and woes, in tricks and impudence; So a begging we will go, will go, will go, so a begging we will go. The beggar in the public ways, his ills, as merits shews, Is lame, or blind, or idiot-struck, or wants his hands or toes; When a begging he will go, will go, will go, when a begging he will go. So, by their faults, the starving Whigs attempt to raise the wind, In Council, fools--in action, lame--in understanding, blind; And a begging they do go, do go, do go, and a begging they do go. Old Charles was the leader, the Bampfylde Moore Carew, Of that audacious, lying, tricking, filthy, drunken crew; And a begging he did go, did go, did go, and a begging he did go. This cunning Fox, he pray'd, and whined, and swore from door to door, That fall'n from a good estate, his virtues kept him poor; So a begging he did go, did go, did go, so a begging he did go. In fact, the rogue play'd, wench'd, and drank two sinecures away, And only begg'd to have the means to wench, and drink, and play; So a begging he did go, did go, did go, so a begging he did go. And all the Club at Brookes's, most generous of men-- Gave readily, what they were sure of--winning back again. When a begging he did go, did go, did go, when a begging he did go. Scots Gerald next went begging, a sufferer by the law; He sent the French red cap about, sedition's alms to draw; And a begging he did go, did go, did go, and a begging he did go. But, whether this subscription succeeded ill or well, We never heard; but some folks say that Mackintosh could tell; And a begging he did go, did go, did go, and a begging he did go.
