Lock up each charming fille de joie;
Give race-horses the glander--
The dice-box breakand burn each card--

And gag the mouth of slander;
In one [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][link widoczny dla zalogowanych]k's timeI'll lay my life

And now I tell thee like a friend
Howe'er the world may scout thee;

And folks so very fond of sinning
They can not do without thee.

Whose ancestors sent forth their troops to smite
The peaceful natives of the western main
With faggots and the blood-delighting sword
To play the devilto oblige the Lord [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
For huntingroasting hereticsand boiling
Baking and barbecuingfryingbroiling
Was thought Heaven's cause amazingly to further;
For which most pious reasonhard to work
