. The ballad of Beau Brocade, and other poems of the XVIIIth century. The Ballad of Beau Brocade. g And wherever Purity found abode,Twas certainly not on a posting Forty followed to days of the Hanover line ! Princes were born, and drums were banged;Now and then batches of Highwaymen hanged. Glorious news !—from the Spanish Main;Porto-Bello at last was taen. I o The Ballad of Beau Brocade. Glorious news !—^for the liquor trade;Nobody dreamed of Beau Brocade. People were thinking of Spanish Crowns;Money was coming from seaport towns ! Nobody dreamed of Beau Brocade,(Only Dolly the Chambermaid!) Blessings on Vernon ! Fill up the cans;Money was coming in Flys and Vans. Possibly, John the Host had heard;Also, certainly, George the Guard. And Dolly had possibly tidings, too,That made her rise from her bed anew. Plump as ever, but stern of eye, With a fixed intention to warn the Fly.
