Give rogues the nine lives of a cat;
Why then, to expiate their crimes,
These rogues must all be hung nine times.
What more enhances this offence is,
’Twill ninefold government’s expenses;
And such a load, in name of wonder,
Pray how can Johnny Bull stand under?
Theft why not rise, and make a clatter,
And put a stop to all this matter—
Why don’t you rouse, I say, in season,
