THE Old CAVALIER . To an Excellent New TUNE .

Licensed according to Order .

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 'Faith 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 : Treachety may be fac'd with light , or Leather lin'd with Fur ; A Cuckold may preferment get , 't is 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 , J●y 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 .
