TO the Wars I must alass,
Though I do not like the Game,
For I hold him to be an Ass,
That will lose his Life for Fame :
For these Guns are such pestilent things,
To pat a Pellet in ones Brow ;
Four vur longs off ch've heard zome zay,
Ch'ill kill a Man he knows not how.
When the Bow, Bill, Zword and Dagger,
Were us'd all in vighting ;
Ch've heard my Father swear and swagger,
That it was but a Flea-biting :
But these Guns, &c.
Ise would vight with the best of our Parish,
And play at Whisters with Mary ;
Cou'd thump the Vootball, yerk the Morrie,
And box at Visticuffs with any :
But these Guns, &c.
Varewel Dick, Tom, Ralph and Hugh,
My Maypoles make all heretofore ;
Varewel Doll, Kate, Zis and Zue,
For I shall never zee you more :
For these Guns are such pestile?it things,
To pat a Pellet in ones Brow ;
Four vurlongs off cttve heard zome zay,
Ch'ill kill a Man he knows not how.
