We have been Bantered & Bubbled & Cheated & Bantered & Bubbled A SONG  
 

Your melanchollies all a folly,  
the Peace I'm sure is Signed  
the French are for't so  
is our Court, and the Dutch must be inclined,  
what is't to us who's King of Spain,  
so we are masters of the main,  
our Fleet must always the Trade maintain if we are  
not Bantered and Bubbled and Cheated and Bantered and Bubbled.   

2  
We very well know when Marlborough.  
Did take the Towns in Flanders.  
'Twas English men did pay for them.  
Tho' they put in Dutch Commanders.  
So that while we were humbling France.  
Holland's power we did advance,  
And made 'em great at our expense,  
And so we were bantered etc.   

3  
We must Suppose the whigs are foes.  
When Treatys they will Sign a,  
To give the Dutch so plaguy much,  
And call it the Barrier Line a,  
For how can we great Europe sway,  
Or keep the Balance every way,  
I fear we shall pay for't another day,  
For we have been bantered etc.   

4  
For Liberty and Property,  
'twas once we used to fight,  
'Gainst Popery and Slavery,  
We did it with our might  
But now the Taxes makes us poor.  
The Emperor may Swear and roar,  
We neither can nor will do more.  
For we have been bantered etc.   

5  
Fanatiches then are now the men,  
Who Kingly power divide.  
Their Villainy to Monarchy,  
'tis makes 'em France deride.  
If Hollanders would choose a King.  
As much as now their praises sing.  
They then would Curse and Dam and fling  
And cry they were bantered etc.   

6  
I swear ad●nigs the Canting Whigs.  
Ha●y van their Knavish race.  
The Church and Queen are flourishing.  
Now they are in disgrace.  
Great Hearty he has set us right.  
And France will banish Perkenite,  
S● were no more the Holland by't.  
Nor will we be bantered and bubbled  
And Cheated and bantered and bubbled.
