Horses ye bought that would not tame,
Crib-biters, reesters, blind, and lame,
And sold them under some false name
At far-off fairs.
Telling your victims that ye eame
From Girn-the-Hares.

Why wish our souls to cash confined,
The object of a grov'ling mind?
And why to polities be blind?'
We have good cause
To learn, as well as all mankind,
Our rights and laws.
24.
We have a firm determination,
To know the business of the nation,
Its government and legislation,
Top, branch, and root;
Without this much of information
A man's a brute.
25.
Nought seemingly can you unfold
But money make and inoney hold,
By means that ne'cr before were told,
Though used, forsooth,
By you, that has exchanged for gold,
Honour and truth.
26.
Still, money we do not despise,
Nor yct above its value prize;
If ever in this world we rise
To have a mailing,
It will not be by tricks and lies,
And double-dealing.
27.
Who to believe could e'er be given,
That any parent under heaven,
Would tell his sons, by av'rice driven,
Than marry poor,
Untochered lasses, they were even
Better to wh—re!
