| With a Fa, la, la, la, la |
| Let us hear of no Inconstancy |
| We have too much of that at Sea. |
And a proper noise everybody made with the Fa la-la-la-la accentuating every Fa with a bottle and every La with one of Mr. Jeremy Daish's handsome silver spoons.
The song being a very lengthy one allowed everybody plenty of time to drink another quart of Burgundy before its rousing conclusion, and if the company cheered loudly at the beginning, by heavens, they cheered so loudly at the end that the noise was heard above the fiddlers in the new ballroom of Daish's famous Rooms and put everybody out of step in the last Cotillon notwithstanding the heroick efforts of the disreputable, but nimble-footed Captain Mann.
Then Charles gave a new ballad (new that is in the reign of Queen Anne) sung first at Messieurs Brook and Hellier's Club at the Temple Tavern in Fleet Street, but slightly altered by him to suit present company,
| Since I'm in the Chair and every one here |
| Appears in gay humour and easy; |
| Say, why should not I, a new Ballad try, |
| Bright Brethren o' the Bottle to please ye. |
| This wine is my theme, this is all on's Esteem, |
| For Jeremy Daish cannot wrong us; |
| Let them get Wealth who keeps us in health. |
| By bringing neat liquor among us. |
(with chorus of last two lines repeated).
| Each Vintner of late, has got an Estate |
| By brewing and Sophistication |
| With cyder and sloes, they've made a d——d dose, |
| Has poisoned one half of the nation. |
| Now God Bless the King, Peers, Parliament Men, |
| And keep 'em like us in true concord; |
| And grant that all those, who dare be his foes, |
| At Tyburn may swing in a strong cord; |
| We'll Loyalists be, and bravely agree |
| With lives and estates to defend her—him |
| So then we'll not care come Peace or come War |
| For Lewis, the Pope, or Pretender. |
"Ah!" said Mr. Antony Clare whose father had been a Jacobite, "you've spoilt more than the rhyme by the last word."
