KEIGN OF QUEEN ANNE TO GEORGE II.
673
" Whence comes it, neighbour Dick,
That you, with youth uncommon,
Have serv'd the girls this trick,
And wedded an old woman ?
Happy Dick."
Very pointed, and moderately slow.

My sparrow's flown away,
And will no more come to me ;
I've broke a glass to-day,
The price will quite undo me,
Gossip Joan.
I've lost a Harry groat
Was left me by my granny ;
I cannot find it out,
I've search'd in ev'ry cranny,
Gossip Joan.
I've lost my wedding ring,
That was made of silver gilded ;
I had drink would please a king,
But that my cat has spill'd it,
Gossip Joan.
My pocket is cut off,
That was full of sugar-candy ;
I cannot stop my cough
Without a gill of brandy,
Gossip Joan.
Let's to the ale-house go,
And wash down all our sorrow,
My griefs you there shall know,
And we'll meet again to-morrow,
Gossip Joan.
A HEALTH TO ALL HONEST MEN.
This tune is contained in the second volume of TJie Dancing Master, 1718
and 1728 ; in Watts' s Musical Miscellany, iii. 142, 1730; in the ballad-opera of
Tlie Jovial Qreto ; in The Convivial Songster, 1782 ; &e.
The old song called " Love and Innocence," beginning, " My days have been
so wondrous free," is apparently the same air, slightly altered.
