Note 42 — Chapter IV · ELECTIONEERING AND PARTY TACTICS UNDER GEORGE I. AND II.
Reading edition
There were several variorum editions of this ballad, mostly amounting in substance to the same thing, “but with differences.” One entitled, “The Downfall of Sundon and Wager,” etc., commences with this verse:—
“Ye Westminster Boys, By your freedom of choice Who have shown to your good friends of London Ye dare to be free, Reject Pension and Fee, By throwing out Wager and Sundon.”
