Sarah's Farewel to C-----t:
OR, A
Trip from St. Jamess to St. Albans.
To the Tune of, Farewel Joy and farewel Pleasure.
|
FArewel C------t and Farewel Pleasure,
|
Farewel all Things of Delight;
|
For of P------s I have had my Measure,
|
But now to all I bid good Night.
|
Farewel Q------ my once kind Mistress,
|
To thy Royal Love Farewel,
|
For thou didst raise me to a Du------ss,
|
But for what I ne'er cou'd tell.
|
Farewel to Intriguing M------m,
|
There I recommended thee;
|
But thou hast play'd thy Cards so wisely,
|
Now thou hast Supplanted me.
|
Farewel P------y P------se, the best
|
Of all my P---------es, (that was known,)
|
My Golden K---------y, and all the rest,
|
For I perceive they'll follow soon.
|
Farewel Sons and Farewel Daughters,
|
For I now do plainly see,
|
The Tories so will mannage Matters,
|
That you all may follow me.
|
Farewel Faithful wise G----n,
|
Always to our Int'rest true:
|
For whilst thou rul'est the Publick T---e,
|
No one our Revenue knew.
|
Farewel S------d and Wh---n,
|
And to all the Dear Cabal,
|
Was it not the Cursed'st Fortune,
|
To be thus Thrust out of all.
|
Farewel to the Whiggish M---rs,
|
They poor Men with Zeal did Burn,
|
And little thought that curst Im--d------t
|
Wou'd produce so strange a turn.
|
Farewel Royal Grotts and Bow'rs,
|
Which Ambition did create,
|
In rural Shades I'll pass my Hours,
|
And forget Affairs of State.
|
Ioh------y quickly hast thee over,
|
Here we'll make a safe Retreat,
|
No more Arms; but thus like Lovers,
|
We'll in cool Recesses meet.
|
Vain at Fate it is to Murmer,
|
Long we have in Favonr been:
|
Tho' by a kind of sudden Turn here,
|
Heaven now has Chang'd the Scene.
|
Hither then my Dearest Ioh---y,
|
To thy Sarah's Arms Repair,
|
We'll for St. Albans, quit St. Jamess,
|
Or for Ble------ms happier Air.
