That we notice round the English nabob hang;

We unfailingly endeavour to abolish

From our voices any trace of nasal twang.

Every patriotic duty we leave undone,

With aversion such as Hebrews hold for pork,

Since we venerate the very name of London

In proportion to our hatred of New York.

No treaty could in any manner soften

Our contempt for native tailors when we dress;

If we bet, we “lay a guinea,” rather often,
