Rh On

As a poor Urchin on the Ice, When he has tumbl'd once or twice, With cautious Step, and trembling goes, The drop-tile Pendant on his Noe, And trudges on to eek the Shore, Reolv'd to trut the Ice no more: But meeting with a daring Mate, Who often us'd to lide and cate, Again is into Danger led, And falls again, and breaks his head. So Youth when firt they're drawn to in, And ee the Danger they are in, Would gladly quit the thorney Way, And think it is unafe to tay; But meeting with their wicked Train, Return with them to in again: With them the Paths of Vice explore; With them are ruin'd ever more.
