In defence of a Church that's the best;
I've my King, too, God bless him,
Let no one oppress him
For none has he ever opprest.

British Laws for my guard,
My cottage is barr'd;
'Tis safe in the light or the dark,
If the 'Squire shou'd oppress,
I get instant redress,
My Orchard's as safe as his Park.

My Cot is my Throne,
What I have is my own,
And what is my own I will keep,
Should Boni come now,
'Tis true I may plow,
But I'm sure that I never shall reap.

Now do but reflect
What I have to protect;
Then doubt if to fight I shall choose,
King, Church, Babes and Wife,
Laws, Liberty, Life,
Now tell me I have nothing to lose.

Then I'll beat my ploughshare
To a sword or a spear,
