(8) That Ladies act in private by Nature's ſoft compliance; We think no crime, when in our prime, to kiſs without a licence. Drink, &c.

We know no ſhame or ſcandal, the beggar law befriends us: We all agree in liberty, and poverty defends us. Drink, &c.

Like jolly beggar wenches, thus, thus we drown all ſorrow; We live to-day, and ne'er delay our pleaſure till to-morrow. Drink, &c.

ynthia frowns whene'er I woo her, Yet ſhe's vex'd if I give over, Much ſhe fears I would undo her. But much more to love her lover; Thus it doubting ſhe refuſes, And not winning thus ſhe loſes.

Prithee. Cynthia, look behind you, Age and wrinkles will o'ertake you; Then too late, deſire will find you, When the power must forſake you. Think upon the ſad condition To be paſt, yet wiſh fruition.
