WHIG-WAGGERIES.

The Whigs must go: to reign instead

The Tories will be call'd;

The Whigs should ne'er be at the head--

_Dear me, I'm getting bald_!

The Whigs! they pass'd that Poor Law Bill;

That's true, beyond a doubt;

The poor they've treated very ill--

_There, kick that beggar out_!

The Whigs about the sugar prate!

They do not care one dump

About the blacks and their sad state--

_Just please to pass the lump_!

Those niggers, for their sufferings here,

Will angels be when dying;

Have wings, and flit above us--dear--

_Why, how those blacks are flying_!

The Whigs are in a state forlorn;

In fact, were ne'er so low:

They make a fuss about the corn--

_My love, you're on my toe_!

The Whigs the timber duty say

They will bring down a peg;

More wooden-pated blockheads they!

_Fetch me my wooden leg_!
