( 8 )
And us the true enjoyment,
Of what ſprings from the plow.
May heavens ſend proſperity
And long live our king,
For we’ve had many peaceful days
And plenty in his reign
And may our foes by George’s ſword
Be glad for peace to ſue
And let us ſay with one accord,
God ſpeed the painful plow.
I hope there’s none offended,
At me for ſinging this,
For it is not intended
For to be ta’en amiſs,
If ye conſider rightly,
You’ll ſay ’tis all but true,
All trades that I have mentioned
Lives by the painful plow.
FINIS.
