[Music ]
A Tory, a Whig, and a Moderate Man,
O'er a Tub of strong Ale
Met, in Ailesbury Vale,
Where there liv'd a plump Lass they call'd buxom Nan:
The Tory a Londoner proud and high,
The Whig was a Tradesman plaguy sly;
The Trimmer a Farmer, but merry and dry,
And thus they their Suit began:
Pretty Nancy we're come to put in our Claim,
Resolv'd upon Wedlocks pleasing Game;
Here's Jacob the Big,
And William the Whig,
And Roger the Grigg,
