SONG CLII.
THE WOMEN ALL TELL ME.
The women all tell me Tmfalfe to my lafs ; That I

quit my poor Chloe, and flick to my glafs : But to you,
men of reafon, my reafons Til own ; And if you don't

like them, why, let them alorve.
Although I have left her, the truth I'll declare ;
I believe fhe was good, and I'm fure me was fair :
But goodnefs and charms in a bumper I fee
That make it as good and as charming as fhe.

My Chloe had dimples and Indies, I mult own \
But, though fhe could fmile, yet in truth fhe could frown
But tell me, ye lovers of liquor divine,
Did you e'er fee a frown in a bumper of wine ?
•Her lilies and rofes were jult in their prime ;
Yet lilies and rofes are conquer' d by time :
But, in wine, from its age fuch benefit flows,
That we like it the better the older it grows.
