like a young Courtier of the Kings.

With a new Fashion, when Christmasse is come,

With a journey up 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 Kings].

With a Gentleman-Vsher whose carriage is compleat,

With a Footman, a Coachman, a Page to carry meat,

With a waiting Gentlewoman, whose dressing is very neat,

Who when the master hath dyn’d gives the servants litle meat;
