A Battle! A Battle! - Title Page

A Battle! a Battle! a Battle of Squirt;
Where no Man is kill’d, and no Man is hurt!

To the TUNE of
Three blue BEANS, in a blue Bladder;
rattle Bladder rattle Bladder!

To which is added,

The
Quaker’s Address, verfify’d;

AND

King Wampum, or Harm watch Harm
Catch.

‘Tis safe and common, in a Friend’s Disguise,
To mask Hypocrisy, Deceit and Lies;
As safe and common as the Thing might be,
The Poet thought it was rank Villany.             D

Printed and sold at the BLUE-NOSE, near
Brazen-Nose-College, Germantown.
