C 26 ]
She gae’d as fait as a new Prin
And kept her Houfie fnod and been,
Her Peuther glanc’d upo’ your Een,
Liie Siller Plate;
She was a donfie Wife and clean,
Without Debate,
It did ane good to fee her Stools,
Boord, Fire-fide, and facing Tools;
Rax, Chandlers, Tangs, and Fire-Shools,
Bajket w 't Bread.
Poor Facers now may chew Pea-hools,
Since Luciy's dead.
She ne’er gae in a Lawin faufe.
Nor Stoups a Froath aboon the Haufe,
Nor kept dow’d Tip within her Wa’s,
But reaming Swats ;
She never ran fovt’r Jute, becaufe
It gi'es the Batts.
She had the Gate fae well to pleafe,
With gratU Beef, dry Fith, or Cheefe,
Which kept our Purfes ay at Eafe,
And Health in Tift,
And lent her frefh Nine Gallon Trees
A hearty TLift.
