| Fortune’s Wheel |
| | | Lord De Tabley (John Byrne Leicester Warren) (b. 1835) |
| |
| |
| I HAD a true-love, none so dear, | |
| And a friend both leal and tried: | |
| I had a cask of good old beer, | |
| And a gallant horse to ride. | |
| |
| A little while did Fortune smile | 5 |
| On him and her and me: | |
| We sang along the road of life | |
| Like birds upon a tree. | |
| |
| My lady fell to shame and hell, | |
| And with her took my friend; | 10 |
| My cask ran sour, my horse went lame, | |
| So alone in the cold I end. | |
