Текст песни: The Dean's Pamphlet + перевод

Brocades, and damasks, and tabbies, and gauzes

Are, by Robert Ballantine, lately brought over

With forty things more: now hear what the law says

Whoe’er will not wear them is not the king’s lover

Though a printer and Dean, Seditiously mean

Our true Irish hearts from Old England to wean

We’ll buy English silks for our wives and our daughters

In spite of his deanship and journeyman Waters

Whoever our trading with England would hinder

To inflame both the nations do plainly conspire

Because Irish linen will soon turn to tinder

And wool it is greasy, and quickly takes fire

Therefore, I assure ye, Our noble grand jury

When they saw the Dean’s book, they were in a great fury;

They would buy English silks for their wives and their daughters

In spite of his deanship and journeyman Waters

This wicked rogue Waters, who always is sinning

And before coram nobis so oft has been call’d

Henceforward shall print neither pamphlets nor linen

And if swearing can do’t shall be swingingly maul’d:

And as for the Dean, You know whom I mean

If the printer will peach him, he’ll scarce come off clean

Then we’ll buy English silks for our wives and our daughters

In spite of his deanship and journeyman Waters
