Another in the same vein, also without a hat. You might enjoy (or be annoyed by) the outrageous rhymes.

ALTERATION OF THE TIMES
^^
Come listen, my neighbours, and hear a merry ditty
Of a strange alteration in ev'ry town and city.

I'll tell you of the times when Queen Bess ruled the nation,
And take a view of things in their present situation.

O what an alteration is now to be seen
Since the happy times when Elizabeth was queen!

Then the ladies wore their pleated ruffs in a neat and pretty order,
With close-eared caps as white as snow all crimped around the border.

But now the ladies' head-dress would frighten ye to stare at.
They've a long head of hair behind, frizzed, curled and greased with bear's fat.

No perfume about their dresses then, nor no foreign tawdry.
No frippery of chintzes then, or the spangles of embroidery.

But now in every gaudy fashion, the ladies dress in that they can wish,
Feeding other foreign nations to starve their own native English.

They eat bread and milk for breakfast out of a wooden noggin.
The ladies' stomachs were not delicate; they never it clogging.

But now twenty-shilling tea and fine sugar, how they swallow down
With hot buttered rolls and the roll must be a French one!

Mechanics then and tradesmen there were few that what were able
On Sunday to provide a good hot joint upon the table.

A plum pudding for their children, to please their little creatures,
But now many hungry children fill their bellies with potatoes?

Then good clothing was provided for the poor in winter weather,
For the rich and the poor were hand in hand together.

But now the poor's degraded and if ragged their clothes is,
The rich keep at a distance and turn up their noses.

Good ladies then twice a day kept the Sabbath with decorum,
Walked to church with a Bible and their family before 'em.

But now they're drove in coaches and when the church they push in,
Instead of Bibles, carry lap-dogs and shock must have a cushion.

Then good friendship it was found in every neighbour's dwelling.
The whispering of slander was their pride to be dispelling.

But now everybody's business some people make their own,
And if they see sobriety, they'll strive to pull you down.

Thus happy they did live, sir, as you may plainly see,
And lived a bright example to their posterity.

May we follow their steps till we happily attain
And then restore the King to his throne again.

And long may he reign with glory and success,
And may he reign hereafter in heaven's happiness.
