A free translation from a Newspaper called de Voteur

"Oh dear Oh dear! My cough's so bad

  "I scarce can deal at whist

"Stop, stop, my Lord, I do declare

  "You've giv'n the cards a twist

"You've play'd a trick, my Lord, that well

  "Deserves Old Bailey's noose

"Its' Cumming it too strong I swear

  "To practice such a Ros - (ruse)

"My Lord looked fierce, went out of town

  "My Lord came back again

"My Lord then fee'd? a learned Knight

  "To wipe away the stain

"Sir John in the Banco Regis is tried

  "To place my Lord ascendant

"But sad mishap! Twelve honest men

  "Found verdict for Defendant

"And now my Lord, take my advice

  "Pack up your traps - be quick

"Cut cards, friend,d capers - every thing

  "And don't forget Your Stick
