10 UNITED STATES
Though charity covers a sin now and then,
Vou cover the heads and the sins of all men.
Ye COACH-MAKERS ! must not by tax be controll'iV,
But ship off your coaches, and fetch us home gold,
The roll of your coach made Copernicus reel.
And fancy the world to turn round like a whecL
YCCAUDEUS, and SPINNERS,and WEAVERS ! attend.
And take the advice of Poor Richard vour friend ;
Stick close to your loom, and your wheel, and youi
card.
And you never need fear of the times being hard.
Ve PRINTERS ! who give us our learning and news.
And impartially print for Turks, Christians, and Jews,
liCt your favorite toast ever sound in the streets.
The freedom of speech, and a volume in sheets
Ye COOPERS ! who rattle with driver and adze,
And daily do lecture on hoops and on heads,
The famous old ballad of Love in a Tub,
Vou may sing to the tune of your rub-a-dub-dub !
Ve Sin PBUiLDERS, RIGGERS, and MAKERS OF SAILS!
Already the new constitution prevails.
And soon you shall see, o'er the proud swellino- tide
The ships of Columbia triumphantly ride.
Each TuABESMAN turn out with his tools in his hand!
To cherish the arts and keep peace through the land '
Each APPRENTICE and JOURNEYMAN, join in my
song
And let the brisk chorus go bounding along.
