The Compleat Citt : Or , The Man of Fashion . To the Tune of , Would you be a Man of Fashion .

I. ●Ou●● you be a Man of Fashion , Wou'd you lead a Life Divine ? ●ou'd you be a Man of Fashion , ●ou'd you lead a Life Divine ? ●ke● a little Dram of Passion , ●n a lusty Bowl of Wine . ●he Nymph , have no Compassion , vain it is to sigh and Groan ; ●we was but put in for fashion , Wine will do the Work alone . II. ●ou'd you have at your Devotion , Gown-Fop Whigs that loves to prate ? Wou'd you have , &c. Gown-Fop , &c. Take a Dram of Tony's Notion , in a Coffee-Dish of State : ●f the Poyson will not warm you , take ye Tea , 't will do the thing ; There are States-men can inform you how to Rule without a King . III. Wou'd you then be thought most witty , wou'd you be a Man of parts ? Wou'd you be , &c. wou'd you , &c. Aid the Factious of the City , till your Hang'd for your Deserts : If your Vertue 's not Rewarded , for the glorious thing you aim'd ; And a nother Saint Recorded , Ca — and Cu — both be damn'd . IV. Wou'd you have a New Religion , founded on a Plot of State ? Wou'd you have , &c. founded , &c. Whisper but with Pra — Pidgeon , in a Dungeon through a Grate : If your Soul finds no impression , Murdered Godfreys will appear ; Though there needs no more Confession , kiss the Book , and all is clear . V. Wou'd you have a true Narration , how the City first was fir'd ; Wou'd you , &c. how , &c. Let the Monuments relation , prove the Man , and those they hir'd : If the Phaenix was consumed , as they say , by Popish Priggs ; All her pride was re-assumed by the Ignoramus-Whigs . VI. Wou'd you have another Charter , you that should be Men of sence ? Wou'd , &c. you that , &c. Talk no more of Magna-Charta , but relye upon your Prince : If you can Repent sincerely , Caesar has a God-like mind ; Purge out Factiousness severely , Caesar will be always kind .
