Pleasant and Divertive. 1 5
Lord Frog.
Countess, y'have three Daughters fine,
Croakledom hee Croakledom ho \
I'd fain make the youngest mine,
Cocky mi Chari she :
I'm well made as ever was Male,
Only bating one simple aile ;
Pox upon't, I've never a Taile, ■<
Twiddle come Tweedle twee.
Lady Mouse.
Welcome .Noble Peer to Town,
Croakledom hee Croakledom ho ;
I'll strait call my darling down,
Cocky mi Cari she :
So much wealth will sure prevail,
Yet I wish that you might not fail ;
Your fine Lordship had a Tail,
Twiddle come Tweedle twee.
Lord Frog.
Here She comes shall be my Spouse,
Croakledom hee Croakledom ho ;
If she'll design to grace my house,
Cocky mi Cari she ;
I've a head where Love can plant ;
Tho' a trifling Tail I want ;
Will you fair one liking grant,
Twiddle come Tweedle twee.
Miss Mouse.
I can ne'er to one consent,
Croakledom hee Croakledom ho ;
Wants that needful ornament,
Cocky my Cari me :
Uncle Rat too so well known,
That a swinger has on's own ;
Ne'er will let me wed to none,
Twiddle come Tweedle twee.
Lord
