For my Uncle blood you 've shed, Do the same for me. Now 's the day and now 's the hour, Heads to split and streets to scour ; Strike for rank, promotion, power, Sawg, and. eau de vie. Who 's afraid a child to kill ? Who respects a shopman's till ? Who would pay a tailor's bill ? Let him turn and flee. Who would burst a goldsmith's door, Shoot a dun, or sack a store ? Let him arm, and go before — That is, follow me ! See the mob, to madness riled, Up the barricades have piled ; In among them, m...an and child, Unrelentingly ! PARODIES AND BURLESQUES. 513 Shoot the men! there 's scarcely one In a dozen 's got a gun : Stop them, if they try to run, With artillery ! Shoot the boys ! each one may grow Into — of the state— a foe (Meaning by the state, you know, My supremacy 1) Shoot the girls and women old 1 Those may bear us traitors bold — These may be inclined to scold Our severity. Sweep the streets of all who may Eashly venture in the way, "Warning for a future day Satisfactory. Then, when still'd is ev'ry voice, We, the nation's darling choice, • Calling on them to rejoice, Tell them, France is Free.
