ONe long Whitson Holliday, Holliday, Holliday, 'twas a Jolly day; Young Ralph, Buxom Phillida, Phillida, a welladay, Met in the Peas: They long had community, He lov'd her, she lov'd him, Joyful Unity, nought but Opportunity, scanting was wanting their bosoms to Ease: But now Fortunes Cruelty, Cruelty, You will see, for as they lye, In close Hugg, Sir Domine Gemini, Gomini, chanc'd to come by; He read Prayers i' th' Family, No way now to frame a Lie, They scar'd at old Homily, Homily, Homily, both away fly.

Home, soon as he saw the Sight, full of Spight, As a Kite runs the Recubite, Like a noisy Hypocrite, Hypocrite, Hypocrite, mischief to say; Save he, wou'd fair Phillida, Phillida, Phillida: Drest that Holy day, But poor Ralph, Ah welladay, welladay, welladay, turn'd was away, Ads niggs crys Sir Domini, Gemini, Gomini, Shall a Rogue stay, To baulk me as commonly, commonly, commonly, has been his way, No I serve the Family, They no nought to blame me by, I'll read Prayers and Homily, Homily, Homily, three times a day.
