Paul's not rejected, will be respected,
And in the quier voices rise higher,
Thanks to the heavens, and (cry), VIVE LE ROY.



Ballad: The Cavalier



By Samuel Butler. From his Posthumous Works. A somewhat different
version appears in Chappell's Popular Music of the Olden Time.


He that is a clear
Cavalier
Will not repine,
Although
His pocket grow
So very low
He cannot get wine.

Fortune is a lass
Will embrace,
But soon destroy;
Born free,
In liberty
We'll always be,
Singing VIVE LE ROY.
