THE ENGLISH INDEPENDANT: AN OLD BALLAD.
(Discovered in the Ruins of Herculaneum,)
Set to a new tune.
  Ye gentle, generous Whigs, give ear,
  I sing---what none of you need fear--
  I sing (and, mark the end on't!)
  The knave in piety profound;
  With Phys[?] so long, and head so round,
  The crafty, drying,
  Cheating, lying,
  English Independant.
