SInce now the world's turn'd upside down, And all things chang'd in Nature, As if a doubt was newly grown We had the same Creator: Of ancient modes, and former ways, I'll teach you, Sirs, the manner; In good Queen Bess's golden days, When I was a Dame of Honour. I had a noble country seat, Tho' now it is come to ruin, Where mutton, beef, and such good meat In halls were daily chewing:
Of humming beer my cellar full, I was a yearly donor; Where toping Knaves had many a pull, When I was a Dame of Honour. My men of homespun honest greys, Had coats and comely Badges; They wore no dirty ragged Lace, Nor ne'er complain'd for Wages: For gaudy fringe, and silks of the town, I fear'd no threatening dunner But wore a decent grogram gown, When I was a Dame of Honour.
I never thought Cantharides Ingredient good in posset, Nor never stript me to my stays, To play the punk at Basset; In Ratafee ne'er made debauch, Nor reel'd like topping Gunner, Nor let my mercer seize my coach, When I was a Dame of Honour. I still preserv'd my maiden fame, In spite of oaths and lying, Tho' many a long-chin'd youngster came, And fain would be enjoying: My fan to guard my lips I kept, From Cupid's rude o'er-runner, And many a Roman nose I rapp'd When I was a Dame of Honour. My curling locks I never bought Of Beggars dirty daughters, Nor prompted by a wanton thought, Above-knee ty'd my Garters: I never glow'd with painted pride, Like punk when the Devil has won her, Nor prov'd a cheat to be a Bride, When I was a Dame of Honour. My neighbours still I treated round, And strangers that came near me, The poor too always welcome found, Whose prayers did still endear me: Let therefore who at Court would be, No churl, nor yet no fawner: Match in old hospitality Queen Bess's Dames of Honour.
