WHEN Princes and Prelates,
And hot-headed zealots,
A Europe had set in a low, a low,
The poor man lies down,
Nor envies a crown,
And comforts himself as he dow, as he dow,
And comforts himself as he dow.
The black-headed eagle,
As keen as a beagle,
He hunted oer height and oer howe,
In the braes o Gemappe,
He fell in a trap,
Een let him come out as he dow, dow, dow,
Een let him come out as he dow.
· · · · · · · But truce with commotions,
And new-fangled notions,
A bumper, I trust youll allow;
Heres George our good king,
And Charlotte his queen,
And lang may they ring as they dow, dow, dow,
And lang may they ring as they dow.
