The Old and New Courtier . 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 , &c. 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 , &c. 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 , &c. 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 , &c. 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 , &c. 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 , &c. 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 , Hung round with Pictures , which do the Poor little good . Like a young Courtier of the Times , &c. 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 , &c. 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 , &c. 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 , &c. 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 , &c.
