All people who on the earth do dwell, And those that skim the sea, With one accord, and heart and voice, A WILKITE let him be.

As for those men who highly live, And bear a partial sway, And will not for their freedom rouze, Shall see a woful day.

Now in the congregation then, Ye Britons, all agree; Give thanks to Wilkes with one accord, Who purchas'd liberty.

Do not withdraw yourselves away, When he stands most in need; Then will he grant your inmost wish, And save your childrens seed.

The people who in London dwell Shall come to him full thick; And all his foes who do rebel, The earth and dust shall lick.
