UPON A WELL-KNOWN LIBERTY SONG.
1768.
This parody, upon the preceding song, was first published in the Boston Gazette, on the twenty-sixth of September, 1768, with the subjoined brief notice. "Last Tuesday, the following song made its appearance from a garret at Castle William." The author is unknown.
THE PARODY.
Come shake your dull noddles, ye pumpkins, and bawl, And own that you're mad at fair Liberty's call; No scandalous conduct can add to your shame, Condemn'd to dishonor, inherit the fame.
In folly you're born, and in folly you'll live, To madness still ready, And stupidly steady, Not as men, but as monkeys, the tokens you give. |
