[ 1] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 LET the A╌mo╌rous Coxcomb a╌dore a fine Face, an hour's En╌joy╌ment makes him 〈♫〉〈♫〉 look like an Ass; let the am╌bi╌tious Fop to Ho╌nour a╌spire, he burns with a torment of 〈♫〉〈♫〉 boundless Desire; and let the old Miser hoard up his curs'd Pelf, he en╌ri╌ches his Bags, but he 〈♫〉〈♫〉 beggers himself: The Lo╌ver ambitious, and Miser are Fools, there is no so╌lid Joy but in 〈♫〉〈♫〉 jolly full Bowls.
[ 2] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 THe Macedon Youth left behind him this Truth, That nothing was done with much thinking; he 〈♫〉〈♫〉 drank, and he fought, and he got what he sought, and the World was his own by fair drinking: He 〈♫〉〈♫〉 wash'd his great Soul in a plen╌ti╌ful Boul, he cast a╌way Trouble and Sorrow; his Mind did not 〈♫〉〈♫〉 run of what was to be done, for he thought of to day, not to morrow.
[ 3] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 WHen V and I together meet, we make up 6 in House Street; yet I and V may meet once 〈♫〉〈♫〉 more, and then we 2 can make but 4: But when that V and I am gone, alas! poor I can make but one.
[ 4] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 THe Millers Daughter ri╌ding to the Fair, without a Saddle up╌on a scur╌vy Mare; cry'd, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Oh Mother, I'm quite undone, I'm quite done, I'm all, all o'regrown with Hair! Away you silly Daughter, 'tis 〈♫〉〈♫〉 ev'╌ry She's concern, and if you won't believe me, look here, look here, here, look here, here, look here, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 look here, here, and you may learn; then taking her aside, she made the matter plain, O╌h Mother, you're 〈♫〉〈♫〉 ten times worse! Oh, you're ten times worse! you're ten times worse! you're ten times worse! why sure, you rid up╌on the Main!
[ 5] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 VAin are thy Charms, fair Creature! I forbear to in╌voke Eu╌cha╌ri╌a; vain are thy 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Charms, fair Creature! I for╌bear to invoke Eu╌cha╌ri╌a, lest she grant my Pray'r: He dear╌ly 〈♫〉〈♫〉 buys his Life in a Disease, who has froward Children, and a Wife to please; he dear╌ly 〈♫〉〈♫〉 buys his Life in a Disease, who has fro╌ward Children, and a Wife to please.
〈♫〉〈♫〉 5 VAin are thy Charms, fair Creature! I forbear to invoke Eu╌cha╌ria, lest she 〈♫〉〈♫〉 grant my Pray'r; to in╌voke Eu╌cha╌ria, lest she grant my Pray'r: He dear╌ly buys his Life 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in a Disease, who has froward Children, and a Wife to please; he dear╌ly buys his Life 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in a Disease, who has froward Children, and a Wife to please.
