Rof. Attend a Moment. You have promis'd me you wouM
rifque your Fortunes with me ; the Hour is come to try all
your Profeffions ; if you prove faithful but you cannot
be falfe; I fee in your Eyes you confent, they tell me you will
elope with me at Twelve this Evening; the Coach will attend
pundually at the Garden-Gate, that opens into the Road from
the Vineyard ; the Horfes, Servants, Lanthorns, Rope-Lad-

you may fee in the Contents. [Throws the Letter to her.

At Twelve of the Nighty
When the Mom pines bright^
With my Lover I pall be a Gadder \
lUl Ileal from the Houfe^
To the Arms of my Spoufe^
Tho^ my Father grows madder and madder.
No matter for Keys, no matter for Locks^
For LonjCy fubtle Love^ all Obftacles mocks ;
Then hey ! for the Bundle, and the Band-hfc,
And not forgetting the Ladder,
Betty. Now your Joy has run you a little out of Breath, I
may club a word or two ; do you really deiign to go off to-
night?
