THE JOURNALIST DISPLAY'D

Dear Friend, have you heard the fantastical Chimes,
Ribbledum, Scribbledum, Fribbledum, Flash;
As rung by the Journalists, all of our times?
Satyrum, Traytorum, Treasondum, Trash;
Popery! Slavery! Bribery! Knavery!
Eruptions, Corruptions, & Some Body's Fall;
Pensions & Places, Removes & Disgraces
And Something & Nothing & the Divel & all.

Note: Published 1740. This is only the first verse;
I'm looking for others. Spelling is modernized. RG
From The British Broadside Ballad, Simpson
