You’ll acknowledge the change too,

As pleasing as strange too,

And make the air ring with loud ha! ha! ha! ha’s!

For what can so fire us, &c.

Let gin, rum, and brandy grow dearer and dearer,

Distillers stop working—no toper will mourn;

Of Gas we can make a delectable cheerer,

Which, nor reddens our noses, nor livers will burn;

Unbeholden to whisky

We’ll drink and get frisky,
