SONG. THE HAPPY REFORMATION. Tune—MAGGY LAUDER

Brave Countrymen both great and small, Your FREEDOM now regain it; A lesson I will give to you, How we are to obtain it:— In UNION's band be firm and true, And still we'll grow the stronger; Nor shall we groan beneath the yoke Of tyrants any longer. Tol, lol, &c.

Dame nature form'd us all alike, The brethren of one nation, Why should we then jar and fight, To please men in high station! But patient, wise, and virtue prize— This will be our salvation; Let quarrels cease, and be in peace— Oh! happy Reformation. Tol, lol, &c.

The cause is good the works your own— Then do it to perfection; Let wisdom guide you in the way, Walk strict by her direction, Which, join'd with courage ne'er can fail, And manly resolution, For to accomplish LIBERTY, And banish persecution. Tol, lol, &c.

Go on, my boys, you know your rights, Be sure that you do gain them: Courtiers, creatures, and their power, Now see that you disdain them; Their pimps and spies, likewise despise— Be steady in your station; Assist the distressed and much oppress'd Whether cousin or relation. Tol, lol, &c.
