Newcome’s a Lord, a General, Knight or Dean—
Newcomes, where’er you go, you’re sure to meet,
The Park, the Playhouse, or St. James’s Street.
Amongst our Quality, you’ll find a few,
And Carlton House has got its Newcome too.
At both the Universities you find ’em,
But in such numbers that they never mind ’em.
In all Professions, Lawyers, Fiddlers, Bards,
Lots in the Line, and many in the Guards.
This leads me to the subject of my story,
