A Tpling Ballad
a tippling ballad on the duke of brunswick's breaking up his camp, and the defeat of the austrians, by dumourier, november 1792. when princes and prelates, and hot-headed zealots, a'europe had set in a low, a low, the poor man lies down, nor envies a , and forts himself as he dow, as he dow, and forts himself as he dow. the black-headed eagle, as keen as a beagle, he hunted o'er height and o'er howe, in the braes o' gemappe, he fell in a trap, e'e him e out as he dow, dow, dow, e'e him e out as he dow. but truce with otions, and new-fangled notions, a bumper, i trust you'll allow; here's gee ood king, and charlotte his queen, and lang may they ring as they dow, dow, dow, and lang may they ring as they dow.
