[...] THere's nothing so fa╌tal as Woman, to hur╌ry a Man to his Grave; you may Think, you may Plot, you may Sigh like a Sot, she u╌ses you more like a Slave: But a Bottle, altho' it be common, the Cheats of the Fair will un­do [Page 5] [...] do; it will drive from your Head, the Delights of the Bed, he that's Drunk, is not a╌able to Woo.

[...] FLed is my Love, for e╌ver, for e╌ver, e╌ver, gone! O╌h, mighty Loss! E╌ter╌nal Sor╌row, E╌ter╌nal Sorrow! Yet prethee Strephon, why should'st mourn? For if thy Ce╌lia [Page 7] [...] wont re╌turn, to her thou shalt go, to her thou shalt go to mor╌row; to her thou shalt go, to her thou shalt go to morrow.

[...] TIS Death alone, 'tis Death a╌lone, can give me Ease, for all the mighty Pain, for all the mighty Pain, I've felt; in his cold Tomb my Heart shall e╌ver freeze, since hers could ne╌ver, ne╌ver mel╌t; since hers could ne╌ver, ne╌ver mel╌t, could ne╌ver melt.

[...] I'Le mount to you blue Coe╌lum, to shun those Female Gypsies, I'le play at Bowls with Sun and Moon, and scare you, scare you, scare you with E╌clip╌ses; and scare you, scare you, scare you with E╌clip╌ses. Mr. Henry Purcell.

[Page 11] [...] I'le climb the fro╌sty Mountain, I'le climb the srosty Mountain, and there I'le coyn the Weather; I'le tea╌r the Rain╌bow from the Sky, I'le tea╌r the Rain╌bow from the Sky, and tye, and tye both ends to╌ge╌ther. The Stars pluck from their Orbs too, the Stars pluck from their Orbs too, and [Page 12] [...] crowd them in my Budget; and whether I'm a roa╌ring Boy, a roa╌ring Boy, let all —, let all the Nation judge it.

[...] JEnny, gin you can love, and have resolv'd you will try me; sil╌ly Scruples remove, and do no lon╌ger de╌ny me:

[...] Jockey, how can you mistake, that know full well when you woo me; My poor Heart does so ake, it throbs as it would come through me!

[...] IF thou wilt give me back my Love, for e╌ver I'le A╌dore thee; and for the fa╌vour, mighty Jove, with Souls from Heaven shall store thee: To the Queen of Shades, she shall advance, and all shall wait up╌on her; [Page] [...] Kings shall A╌dore nor Countenance, and Ple be her Page of Ho╌nour.
