Here's to budgets, bags, and wallets i
Here's to all the wand'rmg train :
Here's our ragged brats and callets .'
One and all crv out, Amen 1
A fig, &c.
Seven Ages.
Our immortal poet's page
Tells us all the world's a stage,
And that men, with all their airs,
Are nothing more than players,
Each using skill and art,
In his turn to top his part,
AJ1 to fill up this farcical scene O ;
Enter here, exit there,
Stand in view, mind your cue ;
Heigh down, ho down, derry derry dows 3
Ail to fill up this farcical scene O.
First, the infant on the lap,
Muling, puling with his pap.
Like a chicken that we truss,
Is swaddled by its nurse,
Who, to please the poppet, tries,
Whilst it giggles and it cries,
All, &c.
Hush a bye, wipe an eye,
fcuckee titty, that's a pretty.
