A NEW SONG.  To the tune o'---O my kitten, my kitten.
Supposed to have been sung by Goody N---h, by way of lulla
by, to the foundling Popish Quebec Bill.
O my baby, my baby,
And O my baby, my dear,
And was its papa ashamed
To own this bantling here-e?
. . . [4 verses, with burthen] 
Then up with the Papists, up, up,
And down with the Protestants, down-o,
Here we go backwards and forwards,
And all for the good of the crown-o.
