From the St. James's Chronicle.
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, my kitten."
O my baby, my baby, 
And O my baby my deary, 
And was its papa asham'd
To own his bantling here-e?
. . . [4 more lines]
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."]
