THE DUTCH BRIBE, A Ballad.  

I.  
YOUR Cheese we have eat, and a Toast with it drank,  
That you never might vote, nor eke ever frank,  
And that you might hang, spite of all 've in Bank,  
Upon Tyburn Tree.   

II.  
JOWN you was once honest John called indeed,  
But now you're Excise-John, in HONEST JOHN's stead,  
And at last you'll be John, that's excised by the Head  
Upon Tyburn Tree.   

III.  
HAD you not been a Blockhead, could you ever think,  
To bribe Folks with Cheese, and not a Drop drink;  
Depend on't we'll see you yet hang till you stink  
Upon Tyburn Tree.   

iv  
SINCE Honour and Honesty you have forsaken,  
May your ill gotten Wealth be all from you taken,  
And your fat Carcase hang, until it grow Bacon,  
Upon Tyburn Tree.   

V  
WOO Cooper of Fife! but your Cary to please,  
Like Rats or like Mice, to be caught with his Cheese;  
Your Member, I hope, he will soon get a Heze  
Upon Tyburn Tree.   

VI  
DESSERTS now at Cooper must surely be rare,  
If for Cheese without Apples you vote for Mynheer;  
But had he his Deserts, he'd soon swing in the Air  
Upon Tyburn Tree.   

VII.  
PRAY remember my Text and the Words of my Sermon,  
And let not this Blunderbuss catch you like Vermin,  
Which if you should do, may you all soon be swarming  
Upon Tyburn Tree.   

VIII.  
SURE a stupider Fellow ne'er opened a Mouth,  
To think with his Cheese he could cure Cooper Drought;  
Jack-Catch do your Duty, so tuck up the Youth  
Upon Tyburn Tree.
