PRINCE CHARLES,
AND THE
KING OF FRANCE.

Says the proud King of France,
We'll protect the young Pretender,
And send him o'er to England
With an army of men:
Says the proud King of France,
We'll protect the young Pretender,
And send him o'er to England
With an army of men.

O no, no! says Charlie,
I'll have none of your skits,
For Duke William, the last war,
Fright'd me out of my wits!

Says the proud King of France,
England's but a garden-place,
Where you and my army
May take it at your ease.
O no! O no! says Charlie,
For you very well do know,
That there's many bitter herbs
In that garden doth grow.
O no, no! &c.
