Page:Excellent new song, called, Wonderful admiration!.pdf/2



'LL sing you a song of a modern date,

Concerning a damsel who had a good estate;

Rich, young, and beautiful, whose name Kate;

She was mightily teaz'd with admirers of late.

Admiration! admiration!

Oh, the wonderful admiration!

The first was a Beau, much resembling an ape.

That had broken its chain and made its escape;

he came into her presence with many a scrape.

Cock sure of the maid from his delicate shape.

Affection, &c.

The next was a Scot, who came staggering drunk

Just as he had quitted his bottle and punk;

But his half rotten carcase so dev'lishly stunk,

That his hopes were all blasted, and prospects were sunk.

Intoxication, &c.
