W: And it has a proverb been of old, The devil's bought but to be sold.
W:
W: This maxim in the statesman's school Is always taught, divide and rule,
W: All parties are to him a joke, While zealots foam he fits the yoke;
W: When men their reason once resume, 'Tis then the statesman's turn to fume.
W:
W: Learn, learn, ye Briton's to unite, Leave off the old exploded bite;
W: Henceforth let Whig and Tory cease, And turn all party-rage to peace;
W: Then shall we see a glorious thing, And so, God bless great George our King.
