From distant regions Fortune sends	A
An odd triumvirate of friends	A
Where Phoebus pays a scanty stipend	B
Where never yet a codling ripen'd	B
Hither the frantic goddess draws	C
Three sufferers in a ruin'd cause	D
By faction banish'd here unite	E
A Dean a Spaniard and a Knight	E
Unite but on conditions cruel	F
The Dean and Spaniard find it too well	G
Condemn'd to live in service hard	H
On either side his honour's guard	H
The Dean to guard his honour's back	I
Must build a castle at Drumlack	I
The Spaniard sore against his will	J
Must raise a fort at Market Hill	J
And thus the pair of humble gentry	K
At north and south are posted sentry	K
While in his lordly castle fixt	H
The knight triumphant reigns betwixt	H
And what the wretches most resent	H
To be his slaves must pay him rent	H
Attend him daily as their chief	L
Decant his wine and carve his beef	L
O Fortune 'tis a scandal for thee	K
To smile on those who are least worthy	K
Weigh but the merits of the three	K
His slaves have ten times more than he	K
Proud baronet of Nova Scotia	M
The Dean and Spaniard must reproach ye	K
Of their two fames the world enough rings	N
Where are thy services and sufferings	N
What if for nothing once you kiss'd	H
Against the grain a monarch's fist	H
What if among the courtly tribe	O
You lost a place and saved a bribe	O
And then in surly mood came here	P
To fifteen hundred pounds a year	Q
And fierce against the Whigs harangu'd	H
You never ventured to be hang'd	H
How dare you treat your betters thus	R
Are you to be compared with us	R
Come Spaniard let us from our farms	S
Call forth our cottagers to arms	S
Our forces let us both unite	H
Attack the foe at left and right	H
From Market Hill's exalted head	H
Full northward let your troops be led	H
While I from Drapier's Mount descend	H
And to the south my squadrons bend	H
New River Walk with friendly shade	H
Shall keep my host in ambuscade	H
While you from where the basin stands	T
Shall scale the rampart with your bands	T
Nor need we doubt the fort to win	U
I hold intelligence within	U
True Lady Anne no danger fears	V
Brave as the Upton fan she wears	W
Then lest upon our first attack	I
Her valiant arm should force us back	I
And we of all our hopes deprived	H
I have a stratagem contrived	H
By these embroider'd high heel shoes	X
She shall be caught as in a noose	Y
So well contriv'd her toes to pinch	Z
She'll not have power to stir an inch	Z
These gaudy shoes must Hannah place	A2
Direct before her lady's face	A2
The shoes put on our faithful portress	A2
Admits us in to storm the fortress	A2
While tortured madam bound remains	A2
Like Montezume in golden chains	A2
Or like a cat with walnuts shod	H
Stumbling at every step she trod	H
Sly hunters thus in Borneo's isle	B2
To catch a monkey by a wile	B2
The mimic animal amuse	A2
They place before him gloves and shoes	A2
Which when the brute puts awkward on	C2
All his agility is gone	D2
In vain to frisk or climb he tries	A2
The huntsmen seize the grinning prize	A2
But let us on our first assault	H
Secure the larder and the vault	H
The valiant Dennis you must fix on	C2
And I'll engage with Peggy Dixon	E2
Then if we once can seize the key	K
And chest that keeps my lady's tea	K
They must surrender at discretion	E2
And soon as we have gain'd possession	E2
We'll act as other conquerors do	H
Divide the realm between us two	H
Then let me see we'll make the knight	H
Our clerk for he can read and write	H
But must not think I tell him that	H
Like Lorimer to wear his hat	H
Yet when we dine without a friend	H
We'll place him at the lower end	H
Madam whose skill does all in dress lie	F2
May serve to wait on Mrs Leslie	K
But lest it might not be so proper	G2
That her own maid should over top her	G2
To mortify the creature more	H2
We'll take her heels five inches lower	G2
For Hannah when we have no need of her	G2
'Twill be our interest to get rid of her	G2
And when we execute our plot	H
'Tis best to hang her on the spot	H
As all your politicians wise	A2
Dispatch the rogues by whom they rise	A2
