386 Fancies and Fantasticks.When we thy Orgies sing,Each Cobler is a King ;Nor dreads he any thing.And though he doth not rave,Yet he'l the courage haveTo call my Lord Major knave ;Besides too, in a brave.Although he has no riches,But walks with dangling breeches,And skirts that want their stitches ;And shews his naked flitches ;Yet he'l be thought or seen ;So good as George-a-green ;And calls his Blouze, his Queene,And speaks in a Language keene.O Bacchus ! let us beFrom cares and troubles free ;And thou shalt hear how weWill chant new Hymnesto thee.
