Rh songs against the Roman Catholics, so that William III felt it well to show him favour.

One of his anti-papal songs, and one that was very popular among the Whigs, was "Dear Catholic Brother," and this he set to a very fine ancient tune, to which to this day "The Hunting of Arscott of Tetcott" is sung in Devon. But D'Urfey did not take the complete tune, as he did not need it for his piece of verse, and his incomplete version of the tune travelled into Wales and Scotland as well as throughout England. It is an early, genuine English melody in the Dorian mode.

Charles II had leaned familiarly on D'Urfey's shoulder, holding a corner of the same sheet of music from which the poet was singing his burlesque song, "Remember, ye Whigs, what was formerly done."

James II continued the friendship previously shown him when he was Duke of York. He had no wish to offend one who could turn a song against him and his religion. Queen Anne delighted in his wit and gave him fifty guineas when she admitted him to her at supper, because he lampooned the Princess Sophia, then next in succession to herself, by his ditty, "The Crown's too weighty for shoulders of eighty." She herself entertained great dislike towards the Electress Dowager of Hanover. D'Urfey was attached to the Tory interest; and in the latter part of the Queen's reign frequently had the honour of diverting her with witty catches and humorous songs, suited to the spirit of the times, written by himself and sung in a droll and entertaining manner.

The Earl of Dorset welcomed him at Knole Park, and had his portrait painted there. At Wincherdon, Buckingham's house, Philip, Duke of Wharton, enjoyed in company D'Urfey singing his songs, which he did with vivacity, although in speech he stammered.
