Stars, Garters, and Promotions, proceeding from Aristocracy, and power, have mercy upon us miserable place-men.
Stars, Garters, and Promotions, &c.
Remember not our offences, nor the offences of our forefathers when in office,—neither take from us our places or our pensions. Spare us, Aristocracy—spare the creatures though hast raised, and be not angry with thy servants.
Aristocracy, spare us!
From all Democracy, and new-fangled doctrines,
Aristocracy, deliver us!
From fish-women, mobs, and lamp posts,
Aristocracy, deliver us!
From national assemblies, national guards, and national cockades,
Aristocracy, deliver us!
