Testo London

there's your lords and ladies fine
riding in a coach and six,
nothing to drink but claret wine,
talking politics.

a great and gallant city!

and all the folks are witty.

bedaub'd from head to chin;
their pocket-holes adorned with gold
but not one sous within.

with many a hungry belly,
while heaps of gold are forc'd, god wot,
on signor farinelli.

there's your dames with dainty frames,
skins as white as milk,
dressed each day in garments gay
of satin and of silk.
