The Disloyal Favourite OR The unfortunate States-Man Who seeks by fond desire for to Climb May chance to catch a fall before his time For Fortune is as fickle as the Wind To him that bears a proud ambious mind Tune of Sawny will ne'r be my Love again TOmmy was a Lord of high renown And he was Rais'd from a low degree He had-Command or'e every Town there was never a one so great as he But he like an ungrateful wretch did set his Conscience on the Stretch And now is afraid of Squire Ketch For Tommy will ne'r be belov'd again When he was Young and a lively Lad he had strange Projects in his Pate He thought that Honour was to be had and that it was fine to be high in State Which made him up to the Court to come to try his Friends both all and some He got them to swallow a Sugar Plumb But Tommy will ne'r be belov'd again He took delight to be made a Knight for that he counted a lucky stepp Thought he if I can rise so high perhaps the next time I may leap Such fancy 's harboured in his drest that he could hardly take his rest Since that Ambition was his guest But Tommy will ne'r be belov'd again He came to be both High and Great and Lord it over all the rest His betters sate on a lower seate whilst he was placed with the best Which made him so with Honour swell where his breech hung he could not tell He thought that all things happened well But Tommy will ne'r be belov'd again The second Part to the same Tune What he could ask was granted straight or any thing he did require He like a Suitor need not wait for he had all at his desire Brade stately buildings and good Ground with pleasant Groves to walk a round Besides Ten hundred thousand Pound But Tommy will ne'r be belov'd again O was not Tommy a very Fooll that he could not contented be When Riches thus did upon him rowl but he must greater strive to be By means which were so indirect that no ones power could him Protect But all good-men did him reject For Tommy will ne'r be belov'd again He Silks and Sattins might a worn and rid in Pomp most sumptuously Though now he is become a scorn to persons all of each degree It 's wisht that he had dy'd at Nurse and never liv'd to bear the Purse Which made the Nation fare the worse For Tommy will ne'r be belov'd again Whilst be was great and high in power his friends he highly did advance But now he hath cause to curse the hour that ever he was concern'd with France He studied mischief and what not and was some say concern'd in the Plot Which may at last make him go tot'h Pot. For Tommy will ne'r be belov'd again Now from the top of Honours great poor Tommy he is headlong cast He now hath time his brains to beat for fear he come to be nub'd at last His friends do dayly from him shrink although he us'd to give them chink Like Polecats they begin now to stink For Tommy will ne'r be belov'd again Alack poor Tommy pitty 't was that e'r thou liv'd to see this day Thy golden days are gone and past and thou art feft to sing welladay If thou dost live to be great again be sure from Treachery refrain For Honour is apt to take a stain And Tommy will ne'r be belov'd again Thus have you heard great Tommy's Case and how he was a man of power But yet I would not take his place although it were in a spacious Tower For Iustice is so brave a thing who wrongs his country and his King will hardly escape without a swing And Tommy will ne'r be belov'd again Then let all Loyal Subjects pray that God our Soveraign still may bless and so preserve him night and day in health and all true happiness That Iustice may take place with those who are their King and country's foes and will not Triachery disclose Though Tommy shall ne'r be belov'd again London Printed for W.
