3.

His heart sings with joy, while all round him he sees
Her citizens prosper, her cities increase,—
Her taxes diminish,-her revenues rise,—

Her credit spring up, as her oaks, to the skies,-
Her coasts full of commerce,-her purses of gold,—
Her granary with corn, and with cattle her fold.
He prays that for ay such may be her career,
And wishes you, darlings, a Happy New-Year.

4.

He is proud to see Monarchs bend low, cap in hand,
To ask aid from her merchants, plain men of our land,
To see them their millions so readily fling,

And book down as debtor an Emperor or King;

That a nod from her head, or a word from her mouth,

Shakes the World, Old and New, from the North to the South;
That her purse rules in peace, as in war did her spear,
And he wishes you, darlings, a Happy New-Year.

5.

Laugh, fiddle, and song, ring out gay in the town,
And the glad tally-ho cheers the dale and the down;
The rich man his claret can jollily quaff,

And the happier poor man o'er brown stout may laugh;
And the demagogue ruffian no longer can gull

With Jacobin slang, for John's belly is full;

And 'tis only when hungry that slang he will hear-
So, Kit wishes you, darlings, a Happy New-Year.

6.

He rejoices to see every engine at work,

From the steamer immense, to the sweet knife and fork;

The weaver at loom, and the smith at his forge;

And all loyal and steady, and true to King George.

Whigs, therefore, avaunt! there's no chance now for ye

We forget they exist in the general glee;

He begs you won't let them diminish your cheer,

So he wishes you, darlings, a Happy New-Year.

7.

There's the King, bless his heart, long is likely to live,
And the Duke at the head of the army to thrive;
There's Wellington extant, who badger'd the Gaul,
And Eldon still sitting in Westminster-Hall.

There's Scott writing prose-and there's-who writing verse?
Why, no one; but, hang it, think never the worse.
Sure, there's Christopher North writes your Magazine here,
And wishes you, darlings, a Happy New-Year.

8.

In the midst of this wealth, of this national pride

Of our honour, our glories, spread far, far, and wide,
While proudly we traverse the sea and the sod,

Let us never forget for a moment our GOD!

It was he raised us up, and, remember, his frown,

If we swerve from his cause, would as soon cast us down;
But that so we shall swerve shall Old Kit never fear,

And he wishes you, darlings, a Happy New-Year.
