THE BRITISH VOLUNTEERS

BY MR. BURNS. TUNE—PUSH ABOUT THE JORUM.

Doe's haughty Gaul invasion threat,then let the louns beware, Sir;There's Wooden Walls upon our seas,and Volunteers on shore, Sir.
The Clyde shall rin to Tintock Tap,an' Benlomon loup to Gall'way,Ere we permit a Foreign Foeon British Ground to rally.
0 let us not like snarling tykes,in wrangling be divided,Till, slap come in an Unco Loun,and wi' a rung decide it!
Be Britain still to Britain true,amang ourselves unitedFor never but by British Handsmust British Wrongs be righted.
The Kettle o' the Kirk and State,perhaps a Clout may sail in't,But de'il a Foreign Tinkler Lounshall ever Ca' a Nail in't.
Our Father's Blude the Kettle bought,and wha wad dare to spoil it!By Heaven! the Sacreligious Dogshall Fuel be to Boil it!
