DOWN WITH THE FRENCH,

Or let them come if they dare.

To the Tune of “ Derry Down.

We are threstened, by Frenchman, but what do we care For their flat-bottomed boats ? .Let them come if they dare; The tone of old England will teach them a dance, And foon make them rue that they ever left France, Knock ’em down, down, high knock ‘em down.

Half ftarved, ‘t;s no wonder they long to be here. To eat our roaft-beef and to guzzle our beer, In want of fhoes, flockings, and all kinds of flops, I Lord, hew would they dicfa??? out of our fhops Knock 'em down, &r.

But if they come thither, to fondle our wives, We’ll give ’em a drefing fhall lafl for their lives. The Corfican Tyrant poor cloathings provides, No Matter for that, for we‘ll curry their hides. Knock 'em down, &c.

They envy ana hate us becaufe we are free. And fain would they plant in our inland theirTree: , But if they attempt it we'll' ??? the poor gudgeons, We have trees of our own that‘ll ferve as for bludgen Knock him down &c.

Then huzza for your leda then zealous and hearty,
