From a late London paper.
SONG, to the tune of Derry Down.
I.
The expences of war, and corruptions of peace,
Are the same to the people, their taxes ne'er cease;
That the poor are distrest, we all know to be true:
So damn the old Parliament, heigh! for a new!
. . . [3 verses, with burthen] Derry down.
