A NEW SONG,
Supposed to have been sung by Goody N---h, by way of lullaby
to the foundling brat, the popish Quebec Bill.
To the tune of "O my kitten, kitten."
O my baby, my baby,
And O my baby, my deary,
And was its papa asham'd
To own this brattling here-e ?
My dear little popish puppet,
So like its dad, Lord B---te-e !
O naughty papa, to drop it,
And the B---ps all sit mute-e !
Then up with the Papists, up, up,
And down with the Protestants, down-e,
Here we go backwards and forwards,
And all for the good of the crown-e.
. . . [3 Verses with burden :"Then up with the Papists,
&c."]
