Catches, canons and drinking songs

to your rude health,

Text: Cursed be the wretch that’s bought and sold,‥

Characters:

Cursed be the wretch that’s bought and sold,
and barters liberty for gold,
for when election is not free,
in vain we boast of liberty,
and he who sells his single right,
would sell his country if he might.
