VOCAL ENCHANTRESS. 375
Let the noble duke or peer
Sell his thoufand pounds a-year ;
Let him quit his grafs and Hubble,
He'll foon find that life's a bubble ;
Let him rife, or let him fall,
What then, &c.
Let the valiant foldier go
Seeking dangers to and fro ;
Let him, when the trumpets rattle,
Brave the foremoft of the battle.
Honour fears nor fword nor ball,
What then, &c.
