A Search was made at t'other Home, By Overseers quick sighted; The Mother to Confession comes, By Threats being much Affrighted; Thus all their Mirth at once was Cool, Fate all their hopes did hamper; So _Ben_ lives on the self same Fool, Tho' _Ruth_ was forc'd to scamper. _And if the Truth of this you doubt, The Overseers can make it out._ _The Man of_ Honour: _Or, the Unconstant World turn'd upside down: To the foregoing_ Tune. How is the World transform'd of late, In Country, Court, and City; As if we were decreed by Fate, To sing a mournful Ditty: About the dismal change of Things, There was no sooth in Fauner; In the blest Reigns of former Kings, _When I was a Man of Honour_. I kept a Castle of my own, With Land five Thousand Acres; When old King _Harry_ grac'd the Throne, Before the Time of Quakers: My Doors and Gates stood open Wide, I lackt no Ring nor Runner; An Ox each Day I did provide, _When I was_, &c. My Guess all Day went in and out, To Feast and cheer their Senses; Could I but bring the Year about, I grudg'd not my Expences: My Talent was to feast the Poor, I valu'd no Court Fauner; Of Cooks I kept full half a Score, _When I was_, &c. When _Christmas_ Day was drawing near, To Cheer and make them Merry; I Broach'd my humming Stout _March_ Beer, As brown as the Hawthorn Berry: Of which there was not any lack, I was my self the Donor; 'Twas fetch'd up in a Leathern _Jack_, _When I was_, &c. I never lay in Trades-mens Books, For Gaudy Silks or Sattins; Nor did I pay with Frowning looks, Or broken Scraps of _Latin_: They had my Gold and Silver free, I fear'd not any Dunner; All Men was glad to deal with me, _When I was a Man of Honour_. I never kept my _Hawkes_ and _Hounds_, Or Lew'd and Wanton Misses; I'd never sell or Mortgage Towns, To purchase Charming Kisses: Of those that seek their Prey by Night, Each cunning Female Fauner; My Lady was my Hearts Delight, _When I was_, &c. I never hid my Noble Head, For any Debt contracted; Nor from the Nation have I fled, For Treasons basely Acted: Nor did I in the least Rebel, To make my self a Runner: My Loyalty was known full well, _When I was_, &c. I never did betray my trust, For Bribes more sweet than Honey; Nor was I false, or so unjust, To sink the Nations Money: My _Lands_ and _Livings_ to enlarge, By wronging each good Donor: I Built not at the Nation's Charge, _When I was_, &c. We find now in these latter Days, Some Men hath delegated; From Truth, and found out greedy ways, This should be regulated: And act henceforth with Heart and Hand, Oppose the Sons of _Bonner_; I lov'd my King and serv'd my Land, _When I was_, &c.
