WITH an Old Song made by an old ancient Pate, Of an old worshipful Gentleman who had a good Estate, Who kept a good House at a bountiful Rate, And an old Porter to relieve the Poor at his Gate, Like an Old Courtier of the Queen, and the Queen's Old Courtier. With an old Lady, whose Anger a good Word asswages, Who every Quarter pays her Old Servants their Wages; Who knew not what belongs to Coachmen, Footmen, and Pages. But kept twenty or thirty Old Men with blue Coats and Badges. Like an Old Courtier of the Queen, etc. With an old Study fill'd full of learned old Books, With an old Reverend Parson, you may judge by his looks. With an old Buttery-hatch, worn quite of the old Hooks, And an old Kitchen which maintains half-a-dozen old Cooks. Like an old Courtier of the Queen, etc. With an Hall hung round about with Guns, Pikes and Bows, With old Swords and Bucklers, which have born many shrewd Blows And an old Frisado Coat to cover his Worships Trunk Hose, And a Cup of old Sherry, to comfort his Copper Nose. Like an old Courtier of the Queen, etc. With an old Fashion when Christmas is come, To call in his Neighbours with Bag-pipe and Drum: And good Cheer enough to furnish every old Room, And old Liquor able to make a Cat speak, and a wise Man dum, Like an old Courtier of the Queen, With an old Huntsman, a Faulkner, and a Kennel of Hounds That never hunted nor hawk'd but in his own Grounds. Who like an old Wise-man, kept within his own Bounds. And when he died gave to every Child a Thousand old Pounds. Like an old Courtier of the Queen, etc. But to his eldest Son his House and Lands he assign'd, Charging him in his Will to keep the same bountiful Mind, To be good to his Servants, and to his Neighbours kind, But in the ensuing Ditty you shall hear how he was inclin'd. Like a Young Courtier of the Times, etc. Like a young Gallant newly come to his Land, That keeds a Brace of Creatures at his Command, And takes up a thousand Pounds on his own Bond, And lies drunk in a Tavern till he could neither sit nor stand. Like a Young Courtier of the Times, With a new Lady that is fresh and fair, Who never knew what belong'd to good Housekeeping or Care; But buys several Fans to play with their wanton Air, And seventeen or eighteen Dressings of other Womens Hair. Like a young Courtier of the Times, etc. With a new Hall built where the old One stood, Wherein you can find neither burned Coal or Wood. And a new Shuffle-Board where never Meat stood, Hang round with Pictures, which do the Poor little good. Like a young Courtier of the Times, etc. With a new Study stuff'd full of Pamphlets and Plays, With a new Chaplain that swears faster than he prays; With a new Buttery-Hatch that opens but once in four or five Days, With a new French Cook to make Kick-shaws and Toys. Like a young Courtier of the Times, etc. With a new Fashion when Christmas is come, With a Journey to London, we must be gone, And leave No-body at Home but our new Porter John, Who relieves the Poor with a Thump on the Back with a Stone, Like a young Courtier of the Times, etc. With a Gentleman-Usher, whose Carriage is compleat, With a Footman, a Coachman, and a Page to carry the Meat. With a Waiting-Gentlewoman, whose Dress is very neat, Who, when the Master has din'd, gives the Servants little Meat. Like a new Courtier of the Times, etc. With a new Honour bought with his Father's old Gold. Who many of his Father's old Manors hath sold; And this is the Reason which most Men do hold, That good House-keeping now-a-Days is grown so cold. Like a young Courtier of the Times, etc.
