And shed your last Blood to oppose the Excise,

Oppose the Excise, etc.

Come on then, my Lads, who have fought and have bled,

A Tax may, perhaps, soon be laid on your Bread;

Ye Natives of Worc’ster and Devon arise,

And strike at the Root of the Cyder-Excise,

The Cyder-Excise, etc.

No longer let K—s at the H—m of the St—e,

With fleecing and grinding pursue Britain’s Fate;

Let Power no longer your Wishes disguise,
