[50
When firft in Love I do commence,
May it be with a Man of Senfe,
And learned Education ;
May all his Couitfhip be to me,
Neither too formal, nor too free.
But wifely fliow his Paflion.
May his Eitate agree with mine.
That it may look like no Defign
To bring us both to Sorrow ;
Grant me this that I have faid.
And willingly I'd live a Maid y^
No longer than to Morrow. { 1
When we are wed, may we agree y/^f/f{?^
And neither of us angry be, ^^
But live free from all Sorrow % ^
If one be crofs, may the other fay, / Z'^^-'
My Dear, we wont fall out to Day,
Whate'er we do to Morrow.
SONG LIII. Good your Worjhip, &c.
GOOD your Woriliip call an Eye
Upon a Soldier's Mifery ;
Let not thefe lean Cheeks, i pray,
Your Worfliip's Bounty from me flay;
But like a noble Friend,
Some Silver lend.
And jFove fliall pay you in the end \
And I will pray that Fate
May make you fortunate
la Heaven or in fome Earthly State.
To beg I ne'er wasbred, kind Sir,
Which makes racbluih to keep this ftirj
Nor do I rove from Place to Place,
For to make known my woful Cafe '.
For 1 am none of thofc
Tiiat a Roving gpes.
And in Rambling iliew their drunkca
Blows ;
