<L>THere is a &s;hip we under&s;tand,</L>
<L>now riding in the river,</L>
<L>'Tis newly come from <HI>Lubberland,</HI></L>
<L>the like I think was never;</L>
<L>You that a lazy life do love,</L>
<L>I'd have you now go over,</L>
<L>They &s;ay the land is not above</L>
<L>two thou&s;and leagues from<HI>Dover.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The captain and the ma&s;ter too,</L>
<L>do's give us this relation,</L>
<L>And &s;o do's all the whole &s;hip's crew,</L>
<L>concerning this &s;trange nation</L>
<L>The &s;treets are pav'd with pudding-pies,</L>
<L>nay, powder'd-beef and bacon,</L>
<L>They &s;ay they &s;corn to tell you lies:</L>
<L>Who thinks it is mi&s;taken?</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The king of knaves, and queen of &s;luts</L>
<L>reign there in peace and quiet;</L>
<L>You need not fear to &s;tarve your guts,</L>
<L>there is &s;uch &s;tore of dyet:</L>
<L>There may you live free from all care,</L>
<L>like hogs &s;et up a fatning,</L>
<L>The garments which the people wear,</L>
<L>is &s;ilver, &s;ilk, and &s;attin.</L>

<L>The lofty buildings of this place,</L>
<L>for many years have la&s;ted,</L>
<L>With nutmegs, pepper, cloves, and mace,</L>
<L>the walls are there rough ca&s;ted,</L>
<L>In curious ha&s;ty-pudding boil'd,</L>
<L>and mo&s;t injen&s;ous carving;</L>
<L>Likewi&s;e they are with pancakes ty'd,</L>
<L>&s;ure, here's no fear of &s;tarving.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The captain &s;ays, In every town,</L>
<L>hot roa&s;ted pigs will meet ye,</L>
<L>They in the &s;treets run up and down,</L>
<L>&s;till crying out, <HI>Come eat me:</HI></L>
<L>Likewi&s;e he &s;ays, at e'ery fea&s;t,</L>
<L>the very fowls and fi&s;hes,</L>
<L>Nay, from the bigge&s;t to the Iea&s;t,</L>
<L>comes tumbling to the di&s;hes,</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The rivers run with claret fine,</L>
<L>the brooks with rich canary,</L>
<L>The ponds with other &s;orts of wine,</L>
<L>to make your hearts &s;till merry:</L>
<L>Nay, more than this, you may behold,</L>
<L>the fountains flows with brandy,</L>
<L>The rocks are like refined gold,</L>
<L>the hills are &s;ugar-candy.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Ro&s;e-water is the rain they have,</L>
<L>which comes in plea&s;ant &s;howers</L>
<L>All places are adorned brave,</L>
<L>with &s;weet and fragrant flowers.</L>
<L>Hot cu&s;tards grows on e'ery tree,</L>
<L>each ditch affords rich jellies;</L>
<L>Now if you will be rul'd by me,</L>
<L>go there and fill your bellies.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>There's nothing there but holy-days;</L>
<L>with mu&s;ick out of mea&s;ure;</L>
<L>Who can forbear to &s;peak the prai&s;e,</L>
<L>of &s;uch a land of plea&s;ure?</L>
<L>There may you lead a lazy life,</L>
<L>free from all kind of labour:</L>
<L>And he that is without a wife,</L>
<L>may borrow of his neighbour.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>There is no law not lawyers fees.</L>
<L>all men are free from fury,</L>
<L>For e'ery one do's what he plea&s;e,</L>
<L>without a judge or jury:</L>
<L>The &s;ummer-time is warm they &s;ay,</L>
<L>the winter's ne'er the colder,</L>
<L>They have no landlords rent to pay,</L>
<L>each man is a free-holder.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>You that are free to cro&s;s the &s;eas,</L>
<L>make no more di&s;putation,</L>
<L>In <HI>Lubberland</HI> you'll live at ea&s;e,</L>
<L>with plea&s;ant recreation:</L>
<L>The captain waits but for a gale</L>
<L>of pro&s;perous wind and weather,</L>
<L>And th<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="2 letters"> they &s;oon will hoi&s;t up &s;ail,</L>
