(I.) HE that is a clear Cavalier, will not repine; Though his Treasure grow, so very low, he cannot get Wine: Fortune is a Lass, She will imbrace, and destroy; Free-born Loyalty, will ever be, Sing Vive le Roy: Vertue is her own Reward, and Fortune is a Whore; There's none but Knaves and Rogues regard and doth her pow'r implore: He that is a Trusty Roger, and will serve his King; If that he be a Ragged Souldier, he will skip and sing: But they that Fight for love, Doth in way of Honour move; While they that make sport of us May become short of us; we'll flatter them, And will scatter them, When that Loyalty Waits on Royalty; They that wait peacably, May be successfully Crown'd with Crowns at last. (II.) Firmly let us then Be Honest Men, and stick to Fate; We shall live to see, true Loyalty,
valued at a high rate: He that bears a Sword, Or a Word, against the Throne, Or prophanely prate, to wrong the State, hath no Title to his own. What tho' the painted Plumes and Players are the prosperous Men; Yet we'll attend our own Affairs, when we come to't agen: Treachery may be fac'd with light, or Leather lin'd with Fur; A Cuckold may preferment get, Fortune de la Gur. But what is that to us, Since we are all Honest Men? We'll Conquer and come again, Beat up the Drum again: Hey! for Cavaliers, Ho, for Cavaliers, Joy for Cavaliers, Pray for Cavaliers: Dub a dubb, dub a dub, Have at old Belzebub, Presbyter stinks for fear: Fanaticks they shall down, And every Rebel Clown, We'll Rally and to't again, Give them the Rout again: When they come again, Charge them home again, Fly like Light about, Face to the Right about, Tan tara rara Tan, This is the Life of an honest Old CAVALIER.
