A Song sung at Covent Garden Theatre, (London) in the
Entertainment of the FAIR, by Mr Beard, in the Character of
a Recruiting Sergeant, and wrote by Paul Whitehead, Esq;
Poet Laureat to His Majesty.
I.
In story we're told
How our monarchs of old
O'er France spread their royal domain;
But no annals can show
Their pride laid so low,
As when brave George the second did reign.
. . . [7 more verses, about the victories of the British in
North America and elsewhere.]
