Subject: The Newcastle Swineherd's Proclamation From: Conrad Bladey (Peasant- Inactive) Date: 15 Jun 00 - 02:39 PM The Newcastle Swineherd's Proclamation O yes! ye swinnish Multitude! Your mouths will water at the sight; With cart-grease basted, dredg'd with dust, Hey! to the Pants, where dribbling wine Then to your growing nature true, Swineherds expect the brutes that run And grunt, ye pigs, with savage joy, While guzzling down your wishy-wash, Then, all ye lordly herds laugh loud, Then tell how the voracious pigs, Next sagely argue o'eer your wine, Pigstye Court, Sandhill, 12th July 1821. *The Rich were called the Corinthian Pillars of Society by the poet poetlorret Burk -In: The Newcastle Song Book or Tyne-Side Songster., W&T Fordyce |
