Gallantry All-a-Mode:
Or, The Bully to the Life.
Here Fops & Boistrous Bully-Rocks are shown,
The Gallant Feats they Practice in the Town;
They pass their Golden hours away in pleasure,
Detest those doting Fools that live by measure.
To a New Play-house Tune: Viz. Let the Traytors Plot on.
|
LEt the Cinick Zealots,
|
Impose on Dull Sots,
|
Rub Brethrens Gumbs with false Corals,
|
Let the Dull Bearded Crowd,
|
Insult and grow proud,
|
And Preach up their Wheedling Morals:
|
Let the Grave Block-heads sit,
|
Muster up all their Wit,
|
To Poach on the Sniveling Sister;
|
Whilst that Stout Hectors we
|
Do court, the jolly she
|
That with fiery sparkling Carbuncle dos glister.
|
Cho. Let Bumpers go round,
|
Let Bumpers go round,
|
Whilst thus double armed we stand to our ground,
|
And the dull Rogue that dare,
|
Bawk his Liquor and spare;
|
Kick him out,
|
Kick him out,
|
Whilst Bumpers go round.
|
Let the Rascals declaim,
|
Shew the gay punks their shame
|
Cry down their Paint & their patch-boxes
|
Let the Block-heads repine
|
At our brisk sparkling Wine,
|
And covet our Goddess like Doxes:
|
Let each whining dull Rogue,
|
Fawn, Decoy, and Cologue,
|
And wish to depose his old Gown Sir,
|
Quit all Orders, turn Bully,
|
And at length prove a Cully,
|
And like Bullyrocks to go roar about town Sir:
|
Cho. Let Bumpers go round,
|
Let Bumpers go round,
|
Whilst thus double armed we stand to our ground
|
And the dull Rogue that dare,
|
Bawk his Liquor and spare,
|
Kick him out,
|
Kick him out
|
Whilst Bumpers go round.
|
WHilst like Rockets we rove,
|
We do immitate Jove,
|
Both handsome and ugly we plunder,
|
With drawn trusty Steel,
|
The streets we do Reel,
|
Like Cannons with shouts we do thunder:
|
Our sole joys are Kisses.
|
Bestowd by brisk Misses,
|
We Lavish and wallow in Pleasure,
|
We detest the dull Fool.
|
That does moap like an Owl,
|
whose poor prisoner soul is confined by mea-sure:
|
Ch. Let Bumpers, etc.
|
We scorn the fools track,
|
Whilst we Revel in Sack,
|
And in natures full plenty do lavish,
|
Our labouring Souls,
|
We refresh with full Bowls,
|
Whilst other poor Mortals live slavish
|
All the night we do play,
|
And sleep all the day,
|
And we know no end of our Horning.
|
Our full Bowls do weep,
|
Every each Star asleep,
|
And with drwzy bowls we salute the dull Morning:
|
Cho. Let Bumpers, etc.
|
Bright jewels we have,
|
Then why should we crave
|
The treasuries of the Magull, Boys,
|
Our Noses do swell,
|
With pure Tarbuncle,
|
Then why do we sit all so dull Boys?
|
If the Moon hide her head,
|
Our Noses so Red,
|
Directs our light heels as we stagger,
|
And whilst that were Drunk
|
With a brisk bouncing Punk,
|
Like the young jolly God, we look big & do swagger
|
Cho. Let Bumpers go round,
|
Let Bumpers go round,
|
Whilst thus double armed we stand to our ground
|
And the dull Rogue that dare
|
Bawk his Liquor and spare,
|
Kick him out,
|
Kick him out,
|
Whilst Bumpers go round.
|
To the Play-house we reel,
|
Then about we do wheel,
|
And All-a-amode of the brisk Monsieur.
|
In the midst of the Pit,
|
Like our selves we do sit,
|
That is right Bully-rocks of the town sir
|
We cringe and then shew,
|
Shapes Proteus ner knew,
|
And with Volly shots we do thunder:
|
Glass windows in rage,
|
We oft do ingage,
|
And a piping-hot Quean we do hire to lye under.
|
Cho. Let Bumpers go round,
|
Let Bumpers go round,
|
While thus double armed we stand to our ground
|
And the dull Rogue that dare
|
Bawk his Liquor and spare,
|
Kick him out,
|
Kick him out,
|
Whilst Bumpers go round.
|
Then oftimes the Watch
|
Us Hectors does catch,
|
And nabs us in this late Rencounter,
|
With Swords and with stones,
|
We break the Loons bones,
|
And so flye the Cage or the Compter:
|
Thus like Pyrates o'th town,
|
We roam up and down,
|
And scowre the main Sea of the City,
|
And he that durst beat
|
The late Watch in the street,
|
Among us Bully-rocks, is accounted for witty.
|
Cho. Let Bumpers go round,
|
Let Bumpers go round,
|
Whilst thus double armed we stand to our ground
|
And the dull Rogue that dare
|
Bawk his Liquor and spare,
|
Kick him out,
|
Kick him out,
|
Whilst Bumpers go round.
