About

At the risk of coming across as bourgeois…

In the good ‘ol days when loyalty had no harm in’t,
A zealous high-churchman I was, And so I got preferment.
To teach my flock I never miss’d: Kings are by God appointed;
And those are damn’d that do resist,
And touch the Lord’s anointed:
And this is law, I will maintain until my dying day, sir,
That whatsoever king shall reign,
I will be Vicar of Bray, sir
