Bold Jack of the Journal
Written on reading Mr. Larkin's "Letter to the Protestants of Newcastle", on the subject of "Maria Monk's Awful Disclosures."

Bold Jack of the Journal--
From regions infernal!--
The Catholic Clergy
Would hang or woud burn all!

This insolent Tory
Is now in his glory,
And currency gives
To Miss Monk's lying story.

For his blust'rin' and barkin',
And fulsome remarkin'
Brave, honest Charles Larkin
Has gi'en him a yarkin'.

Newcastle Sept 1836.
H.R. -In: The Newcastle Song Book or Tyne-Side Songster., W&T Fordyce
Newcastle Upon Tyne.
