U P , my countrymen, Britons get up, Why do ye sleep while tyranny rages ? Like men do your duty* break tyranny's cup,—T h e d$ed will be deathless thro' ail future ages. Then weather the storm, A.nd suive for R e f o r m ; Onward, united, our cause it is glorious; T h e king is our friend,— Till death we'll defend Our freedom and rights—long may he reign o'er us. U p with the banner that tells we are free, Down with the tyrant that dares to enslave us; Plant round our island sweet liberty's tree,— No nation for freedom shall ever out-brave us» We tell to the world, Our banner's unfurl'd, The banner of freedom, the true Briton's glory. Come, Britons, combine, Our rights are divine;; Fame will proclaim all our doings in story, �3 Come, patriots, come united and sing, Long life to the pillars and shields of our nation; God save our country, and God save our king. The bulwark and friend of this great reformation. We've told our condition By pray'r and petition, The learn'd and the wise now strive to defend us ; W e hate all oppression, And make our confession, As Britons and freemen no tyrant shall bind us. THE ARETHUSA. all you jolly sailors bold, Whose hearts are cast in honour s mould, While English glory I unfold % Huzza to the A re thus a I She is a frigate tight and brave, As ever stemmed the dashing wave ; Her men are staunch T o their favourite launch, And when the foe shall meet our fire, Sooner than strike we'll all expire, On board of the Arethusa COME 'Twas with the Spring-fleet she went out T h e English Channel to cruize about, When four French sail, in show so stou?f Bore down on the Arethusa. �4 T h e fam'd Belle Poole straight a-heatl did He, T h e Arethusa seem'd to fly, N o t a sheet or a tack, G r a brace did she slack; 1 hough the Frenchmen laugh'd, and thought it stuff, But they knew not a handful of men how tough O n board of the Arethusa. O n deck five hundred men did dance, T h e stoutest they could find in France: W e , with two hundred did advance, O n board of the Arethusa, O u r captain hailM the Frenchmen, ho ! T h e Frenchmen they cried out, hallo! Bear down, d'ye see, T o our Admiral's lee. No ? no, says the Frenchmen, that can't be,— T h e n I must lug you along with me, Says the saucy Arethusa. T h e fight was off the Frenchmen's land, W e forc'd t h e m back upon their strand, For we fought tiii not a stick would s t a M Of the gallant Arethusa. And now we've driven the foe ashore* Never to fight with Britons more,— Let each fill a glass T o his favourite lass ! A health to our captain, and officers true, And all that belong to the jovial crew Of the gallant Arethusa, �5 T H E 3ASHFU' WOOER. ye come to woo me, Tarn, Dinna at the window tap, Or cough, or hem, or gi'e a clap, T o 1st my father hear man ; He's auld, and fail'd, and wants his sleep, Sae by the hallan saftly creep, Y e need nae watch* and glowr, and peep, I'll meet ye, never fear man. WHENE'ER If a lassie ye wou'd win, Be cheerfu' ever, bashfu* never IJka Jock may get a Jen, If he has sense to try man. Whene'er we at the market meet, Dinna look like ane hauf daft, O r talk about the cauild and heat, As ye were weather-wise, m a n ; Haud up your head, and bauldly speak, And keep the blushes frae your cheek, For he wha hap, his tale to seek, W e lasses a' despise man. If a lassie, &e. I met ye lately, a* your lane, Ye seemed like ane stown frae the dead. Your teeth e'en chattered i* your head, But ne'er a word o' love, m a n ; I spak, ye look'd anither way, T h e n trimmel'd as ye'd got a flay, �6 And owre your shouther cried, € gude d a y / Nor ance to win me strave, man. If a lassie, See. My aunty left me threescore pun', But ne'er a ane o' a' the men, Till then, did bare-legg'd Eley ken, Or care a strae for me, m a n ; NoWy tiggen at me soon and latej They're cleekin but the yellow b a i t ; Yet, mind me, Tam, I needna wait, When I hae choice o' three, man. If a lassiej &c, There Jives a lad o'er yonder muir, H e has nae faut but ane—he's puir Whene'er we meet, wi' kisses sweet, He's like to be my death ? m a n ; And there's a lad ahint yon trees, Wad wade for me aboon the knees ^ Sae tell your mind, or, if you please, Nae langer fash us baith, m.an. if a lassie, &c. 'TWAS MERRY W THE HALL. Now ancient English melody Is banish'd out of doors, And nought is heard of in our day But signoras and signors. Such airs I hate Like a pig in a gate; �7 Give me the good old strain, When 'twas merry in the hall, And the beards wagg'd all: We shall ne'er see the like again, W e shall ne'er see the like again. On beds of down our dandies lie, And waste the cheerful morn ; W h i l e our squires of old would rouse the day f o the sound of the bugle horn* And their wives took care T o provide good cheer ! For when they left the plain, Oh, 'twas merry in the hall, And the beards wagg'd all! W e shall ne'er see the like again, 'Twas then the Christmas tale was told Of goblin, ghost, or fairy , And they cheer'd the hearts of their tenants old, With a cup of good canary; And they each took a smack At the cold black Jack, Till the fire burnt in their brain. O h , 'twas merry in the hall, And the beards wagg'd all i May we all see the like again. H E A R T S O F OAK. COME, cheer up my lads, 'tis to glory we steer, T o add something more to this wonderful year j �8 T o honour we call you, not press you like slaves, For who are so free as W2 sons of the waves. Hearts of oak are our ships, Jolly tars are our m e n ; W e always are ready, Steady* boys, steady* W e ' l l fight and we'll conquer again and again. W e ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay, They never see us but they wish us away ; If they run f why we follow, and run them ashore, For if they wont fight us, what can we do more. Hearts of oak, &c. They swear they'll invade us, these terrible foes ! They frighten our women, our children & beaux ; But should their flat bottoms in darkness get o'er, Still Britons they'll find to receive them on shore. Hearts of oak, &c, We'll still make 'em run ? and we'll still make 'era sweat, < l a spite of the devil and Brussels G a z e t t e ; Then cheer up my lads, with one heart let us sing, Our soldiers, our sailors, our statestnen and king* Hearts of oak, &c.
