Old. AN old song made , of an Old aged pate , Of an old Gentlemen , who had a wealthy estate ; Who kept an old House , at a bountiful rats , Like an old Courtier of the Kings , And the Kings old courtier . New . A new flourishing Gallant newly come to his Land , And can take up a thousand pound on his own new Band , Who keeps two painted creatures at his own command , Like a new courtier of the Kings , And the Kings new courtier . Old. An old Lady whose anger , one word asswages , And every quarter pays her old Servants their wages , Who never knew what belongs to Coach , Footmen , nor Pages , But keeps fifty two stout fellows in blew Coats and badges , Like an old courtier , &c. N w . A new Lady whose face is beautiful and fair , And never knew what belong to house-keeping nor care ; But buys a new Fan to play with the wanton Air , And several new dressings of other womens hair . Like a new courtier , &c. Old. An old Hall hung round , with Pikes , Bills , and Bowes , Swords , blades , ●nd bucklers , that have endured stout blows , And an old Frizadow Coat to cover his worships Trunck-hose , And an old cup of Sherry to burnish up his honourable Nose , Like an old courtier , &c.
The second Part , to the same tune . New . A New Hall built where the Old Hall stood , Hung round with pictures , that does the poor but little good , And a new Chimney that never burnt Cole nor Wood , And a new Shufle-board-table whereon meat never stood . Like a new Courtier of the Kings , And the Kings new courtier . Old. And an old Study stuft full of Old , learned books , And an old reverend Chaplain , you might know him by his looke And an old Kitching that maintains half a dozen old Cooks , And an old buttry hatch worn of the old hooks , Like an old courtier , &c. New . A new study stuft full of Pamphlets and plays , And a new drunken Chaplain swears faster then he prays . And a new battery hatch opens once in four or five days , Like a new courtier , &c. Old. An old faulkner , a Huntsman , and a kennel of hounds , And his worship did never hawk nor hunt , But in his Grane-Fathers grounds , And when he dyed left every child , a thousand of old pounds , Like an old courtier , &c. New . A new fashion when Christmas was drawing on , This new Knight and his Lady to London must be gone , And left none at home , but the new Porter John , To relieve poor people with a thump on the back with a cold stone , Like a new courtier , &c. Old. An old fashion when Christmas was drawing on , Calls all his Neighbours and tenants together with bagpipe and drum , And meat enough to furnish every old room , And Beer that will make a Cat speak , and a wise man dumb . Like an old courtier , &c. Old. And when he dyed , to his Son and heir he assign'd , To be good to his Neighbors , and to his Tennants kind . And to keep still the same bountiful mind , Like an old courtier , &c. New . A new Gentleman Vsher , whose carriage is compleat , And the Coachman , Greams , & Footmen to carry up th●●eat , And when they din'd loft them little to eat . Like a new Courtier of the Kings , And the Kings new courtier .
