 Yet think not bold Jack, tho’ by conqueft difmay’d, could tamely fubmit to his fate; When his Country he found he no longer could ferve, looking round, he addrefs'd thus each mate, What's life, d’ye fee, when our liberty’s gone, much nobler it were for to die, So now for old Davy, then plung'd in the main, ev’n the cherub above heav’d a figh. CHORUS So now for old Davy, then plung'd in the main, e’en the cherub above heav’d a figh.

A DROP of a DREM

AT twoo’the dock my wife puts on her clothes, And ftraight on the fire the tea-kettle goes, Here’s good toaft and butter, pray cat if you can, Don’t you think it convenient for a drop of a dram. C H O R U S. Let’s prittle prattle, tittle tattle,pour out the kettle, O I bought it at the little fhop over the way, Straight over the way of that very good man, Don’t you think it convenient for a drop of a dram.

Then comes t’other goffip, this is very fine tea, Pray where did you buy it? Straight over the way, Straight over the way of that very good man, Don’t you think it convenient for a drop of a dram ?

My hufband he is a very bad man, He will not allow me one drop of a dram, And when that he does, it is little that I take, It is altogether for company’s fake.

In comes t’other goffip,what news have you got ? O I have brave news, and ’tis quite piping hot, If one man fhould lie with another man’s wife, You mutt not fpeak a word,not a word fer your life.
