Transcription
I love with all my heart
The Tory party here
The Hanoverian part—
Most hateful doth appear,
And for their settlement
I ever have denied
My conscience gives consent,
To be on James's side:
Most righteous is the cause
To be for such a King
To fight for George's laws,
Will Britons ruin bring,
This is my mind and heart
In this opinion I
Tho' none should take my part.
Resolve to live and die.
