A YORK DIALOGUE.19 thank you for me, and I ſhall be glad to ſee you to-morrow; but whether my wife will or no, I cannot tell, for I doubt I ſhall find her but ſo and ſo in her humour.

Harry. Good-night to you, Ned, thank you for your good company: it has been very pleaſant, and I hope will find all things eaſy and quiet at home.

OU'D you chuſe a wife, For a happy life, Leave the court and the country take, Where Dolly and Sue, Young Molly and Prue, Follow Roger and John, Whilſt harveſt goes on, And merrily merrily rake.

Leave the London dames (Be it ſpoke to their ſhames) To ly in their beds till noon, Then get up and ſtretch, And paint too and patch,
