But rolling years will onwards flow, and Time, alas! will fly,

And one of these fine days this fine Old Gentleman will die!

Ah! will he then bethink him as he heaves life’s last sigh,

That he has done to others quite as he would be done by?

As the true Old Englishman did all in the olden time.

The Fine Young London Gentleman.

I’ll sing you a fine new song all about a fine young spark,

Who’s a fine Young London Gentleman quite up to any lark;
