I. VERSE OF “TAKE THY OLD CLOAK ABOUT THEE.”
King Stephen was a worthy peer,His breeches cost him but a crown,
He held them sixpence all too dear,
And so he call'd the tailor loon.
He was a king, and wore a crown,
Thou art a squire of low degree;
'Tis pride that pulls the country down,
So take thy old cloak about thee.
