 THE WAY TO KEEP HER.

��THE mind of a woman can never be known, You never can guefs it aright ; I'll tell you the reafon, fhe knows not her own,

She changes fo often e'er night : 'Twould puzzle Apollo her whimfies to follow^] His oracle would be a jeft ; She'll frown when fhe's kind, She'll change with the wind, And often abuies the man that me chufes, And him ftie refufes likes beft.

��To keep them in temper I'll tell you the way,

I'd have you give ear to my plan, Be merry and cheartul, good humour'd and gay,

And kits them as oft as you can ; For while you do thefe, you the ladies will pleafe,

Their affections you're fure ior to gain j. Then be of their mind, And quickly you'll find,
 * Tis better than wrangling, contending and jangling*

For taey'ii ioye you and kifs you again.
