The Bath Squabble

I.

What a factious Debate
Has arisen of late,
Usurpation I fear is on float;
But Courage, my Friends,
They'll not gain their Ends,
King Derrick will still find Support,
Brave Boys,
King Derrick will still find Support.

II.

Let A*** S and S***** E
Rave, bully, and scowl,
Regard not their blust'ring Noise;
Prophetic I tell,
The more Stir the worse Smell,
Then Courage my D ERRICAN Boys;
Brave Boys,
Then Courage my D ERRICAN Boys.

III.

Low Cunning, Deceit,
Our Senses shan't cheat,
Their selfish Designs are well known;
Innovations won't do,
Time after will rue.
If scurvily now we lay down,
Brave Boys,
If scurvily now we lay down.

IV.

Let the Season advance,
We'll lead them a Dance,
Shall caper them out of their Schemes;
November shall prove,
Our Monarch we love,
Then a Fig for chimerical Dreams,
Brave Boys,
Then a Fig for chimerical Dreams.
