 [Music ]

MAiden fresh as a Rose, Young buxome and full of jollity, Take no Spouse among Beaux, Fond of their Raking quality; He who wears a long bush, All powder'd down from his Pericrane, And with Nose full of Snush, Snuffles out Love in a merry vein.

Who to Dames of high place, Do's prattle like any Parrot too, Yet with Doxies a brace, At Night, piggs in a Garret too; Patrimony out-run, To make a fine shew to carry thee, Plainly Friend thou'rt undone, If such a Creature Marry thee.

Then for fear of a bribe, Of flattering noise and vanity, Yoak a Lad of our Tribe, He'll shew thee best humanity; Flashy, thou wilt find Love, In civil as well as secular, But when Spirit doth move, We have a gift particular.

Tho' our graveness is pride, That boobys the more may venerate, He that gets a Rich Bride, Can jump when he's to Generate; Off then goes the disguise, To bed in his Arms he'll carry thee, Then to be happy and wise, Take Yea and Nay to Marry thee.
