( 6 ) For I have got another ſweetheart,

twice as good as him ;

I may work. I may ſit idle,

as convenient for me;

I may reſt me when I'm wearied,

ſince he's gone, farewel he.

Now ſince that he is married,

and keeps himſelf ſo cloſe,

Let it never be laid, that I

will lament for the loſs;

Since he is pleaſed with her carriage.

and ſo well with her agree,

I'll never top the marriage,

ſince he's gone, farewel he.

O welcome freſh weather,

and farewel froſt,

For dancing and rejoicing,

ſince my true lover's loſt:

For it has never been determined,

that married we dould be;

So for ever I'll defy him,

ſince he's gone, farewel he.

CLEAN PATERNAL SEAT.

To hug yourſele in perfect eaſe,

What would you wiſh for more than theſe?

A healthy,, paternal ſeat,

Well ſhaded from the ſummer heat.
