Among 176 Songs Compleat, Among the Crowd, two fat Draymen appear,To guard Mr. Ensign, a huge nasty Tar,Who flourishd a Blanket for Colours of War,Which no Body can deny. At foot of the Colours, blith Crendon did go,Who playd a new Tune, which you very well know,For his Bag-pipes squeakd nothing but Lero, Lero,Which no Body, &c. Ah ! had the dear Joys but come in the nick,I fancy theyd showd em a slippery Trick,For theyd Marchd more nimbly without his Musick,Which no Body, &c. Since .England was England, no People eer scarce,So Pleasantly Burlesqud the angry God Mars,Or of Affairs Warlike, eer made such a Farce, Which no Body can deny, deny; which no Body candeny.
