Songs Compleat,
Lo here you lusty lads to learn,
Under a Caveat told ;
That Younglings spend their fresh green Youth,
Not thinking to be Old.
Therefore hoist not your Sails too high,
Disdain not simple Will ;
For many a sturdy Horse e'er now,
Hath carried Sacks to Mill.
The Royal REGIMENT.
By Jo. Haynes.

I'LL Sing in the Praise, if you'll lend but an Ear,
Of the fierce Royal Regiment, but don't think I
Jeer ;
For I vow and protest, they're as brave Men and
willing
As ever Old Rome bred, or New Iniskilling.
Lord,
