THE MUSICAL REPOSITORY. ai.
Oh 'tis a wonderful ifland!
All of 'em long for the ifland ;
Hold a bit there, (let 'em) — take fire and air,
But we'll have the fea and the ifland.
Then fmce Freedom and Neptune have hitherto kept tune,
In each faying, This fliall be my land,
Shou'd the army of England, or all they cou'd bring, land,
We'd fliow 'em fome play for the ifland ;
We'd fight for our right to the ifland,
We'd give 'em enough of the ifland ;
Frenchmen fliou'd juft — bite at our dufl:.
But not a bit more of the ifland.
