A New SONG, concerning Two
Games at Cards, playd betwixt the
King of England, King of France,
and Queen of Spain; shewing the
true Honour and Honesty of Old
England against the Pretender.
To a good TUNE.
|
COME jolly Brittons and play your game at Whist,
|
Keeping of France and Spain in a Mist,
|
And play your Cards before they speak,
|
I know this Game their Hearts will break,
|
And neer Pretender undertake,
|
To Rule England.
|
The King of France joined with the Queen of Spain,
|
Against the King of England, who plays the Dead Man,
|
Knowing that neither King nor Queen,
|
Can bang his Ace at Trumps unseen,
|
With twelve of Sute which makes thirteen,
|
Brave old England.
|
Old Englands the Game, cries Lewis unto Spain,
|
Not thinking that Clubs would be Trumps on the Main,
|
But finding the King of Englands Hand,
|
All of a Suit and at Command,
|
Im beggard quite crys Lewis Grand,
|
By old England.
|
The next Game was Putt, Grand Lewis would play,
|
To put in a King of his own by the way,
|
But tho hes all Legerdemain,
|
He cannot get his King to Reign,
|
Nor dare he come for being takn,
|
By old England.
|
He thought to get the first Trick by playing a Knave,
|
And playd him on Scotland King George to deceive,
|
But having neither Duce nor Tray,
|
Hes thrown his Knave and Gold away,
|
And lost his Game what ere he play,
|
With old England.
|
Then Britons rejoice, and let this be your Song,
|
Well corb the proud French, yes and likewise their Dons
|
For if we fight, or if we play,
|
I hope we still shall win the Day,
|
And so God bless King George I say,
|
And Old England.
