COME jolly Brittons and play your game at Whist, Keeping of France and Spain in a Mist, And play your Cards before they speak, I know this Game their Hearts will break, And neer Pretender undertake, To Rule England. The King of France joined with the Queen of Spain, Against the King of England, who plays the Dead Man, Knowing that neither King nor Queen, Can bang his Ace at Trumps unseen, With twelve of Sute which makes thirteen, Brave old England. Old Englands the Game, cries Lewis unto Spain, Not thinking that Clubs would be Trumps on the Main, But finding the King of Englands Hand, All of a Suit and at Command, Im beggard quite crys Lewis Grand, By old England. The next Game was Putt, Grand Lewis would play, To put in a King of his own by the way, But tho hes all Legerdemain, He cannot get his King to Reign, Nor dare he come for being takn, By old England. He thought to get the first Trick by playing a Knave, And playd him on Scotland King George to deceive, But having neither Duce nor Tray, Hes thrown his Knave and Gold away, And lost his Game what ere he play, With old England. Then Britons rejoice, and let this be your Song, Well corb the proud French, yes and likewise their Dons For if we fight, or if we play, I hope we still shall win the Day, And so God bless King George I say, And Old England.
