Page:The Splendid Shilling by John Philips (1719).pdf/5



APPY the Man, who void of Cares and Strife, In Silken, or in Leathern Purse retains A Splendid Shilling: He nor hears with Pain New Oysters cry'd, nor sighs for chearful Ale; But with his Friends, when nightly Mists arise, To Juniper's-Magpye, or Town-Hall repairs: Where, mindful of the Nymph, whose wanton Eye Transfix'd his Soul, and kindled Amorous Flames, , or ; he each Circling Glass Wisheth her Health, and Joy, and equal Love. Mean while, he smoaks, and laughs at merry Tale, Or Pun ambiguous, or Conundrum quaint. Rh
