 :When ſteward I'm promoted, I'll ſhip a tradesman's bill, My maſter's coffers empty, my pockets for to fill; When rolling in my chariot, ſo great a man I'll be, You'll forget the little plow-boy that whiſtl'd o'er the lee.


 * I'll buy votes at elections, but when I've made the pelf,

I'll ſtand poll for the parliament, & then vote in myſelf; Whatever's good for me, Sir, I never will oppofe, When all my ay's are ſold off, why then I'll ſel my no's.

And when I'm tired on my legs, then I'll ſet up a Peers; In court or city honour, ſo great a man I'd be You'll forget the little plow-boy that whiſtl'd o'er the lee.
