NEW SONG..

To the Tune of Langolee.

[ocr errors]

Lud, it is all aboutWestminster-hall; The place where Ch-F-x, in the height of his glory,

When he pleafed, could whole hours to potwallopers bawl.

Charley F-x, oh! how he wou'd feed 'em With fpeeches, that made the Hall ring, about freedom,

'Twou'd have done your heart good, both to hear'em and read'em ;

Such fpeeches were ne'er made in Weftminfter Hall.

Oflate in a fit, fomething like defperation, This fatefman determined a meeting to call, When he found that his credit declined with the nation,

Ho thought to retrieve it in Weltminfter Hall. So whisper'd B-g and fome more of his cronies,

To faddle Sam Houfe and the rest of his ponies;

Then came down fhav'd and powder'd, and
look'd an Adonis,"

And mounted the huffings in Wefmin-
Aer Hall.
