Then a company is form'd, though not yet advertising, To build, upon a splendid scale, a large balloon, And send up tools and broken stones for fresh Mac-Adamizing The new discover'd turnpike-roads which cross the moon. But the most inviting scheme of all, is one proposed for carrying Large furnaces to melt the ice which hems poor Captain Parry in; They'll then have steam-boats twice a week to all the newly-seen land, And call for goods and passengers at Labrador and Greenland! Run, neighbours, run, you're just in time to get a share In all the famous bubbles that amuse John Bull. THE GRAND REVOLUTION! _Tune_--"The Tight Little Island." "Ye Whigs, now attend, and list to a friend, If you value a free Constitution, Every nerve let us strain for the patriots of Spain, And cry up their brave Revolution. Huzza! for the brave Revolution! Success to the brave Revolution! We'll all to a man, bawl as loud as we can, Huzza! for the brave Revolution!

"But Spain, with true bravery, spurning her slavery, Vows she'll have freedom, or die now, And all that she'll need will be trifles indeed, Such as arms, ammunition, and rhino! Success to her brave resolutions! And just to collect contributions, At dinner we'll meet in Bishopsgate-street, In aid of her brave resolutions!"
