The French King will a Girdle bring,
Made of Flat-bottom’d Boats;
Shall compas England round about,
Which must not be a few,
To give our Englishmen the Rout;
This sounds as if ’twere true.
There’s nothing done in all the World,
From Monarch to the Mouse,
But every Day or Night ’tis hurl’d
Into the Coffee-house.
