So that turning the Jest,
They agreed it at last,
That nought from the Presence did come,
But the noise that they heard,
Was some Yeoman o' the Guard,
That brought Dishes into the next Room;
With a hum, &c.
But the truth of the sound
Not at all could be found,
Since none but the doer could tell,
So that hushing up the Shame,
The Beef-eater bore the blame,
And the Queen, God be prais'd, din'd well;
With a hum, hum, hum, hum.

The Second Part of the Fart;
Or the Beef-eaters Appeal to Mr. D'Urfey. [To the same Tune.]
YE Peers that in State,
Now with Commons are met,
To right both the Weak and the Strong,
Prepare to redress
A poor Beef-eater's Case,
Who has had a most damnable wrong;
By a hum, &c.
Strange Jarring I know,
'Twixt the High-Church and Low,
Does your dear valu'd hours ingross,
Yet mine is such a case,
That I beg it may take place,
As soon as the Speaker is chose,
With a hum, &c.
