[ 7 ] Not so repuls’d the comely youth ; With kisses, prayers and vows of truth, So pleas’d the nymph, she smil’d consent, And to the church they instant went, His flame she did not disallow, But quite forgot to milk her cow: &c.



 O make the most of fleeting time, should be our great endeavour ; For love we both are in our prime, the time is now or never.

A thousand charms around you play, no girl more bright or clever; Then let us both agree to-day, to-morrow will be never.

I ne'er shall be a better man, I burn with love’s high fever ; Pray now behind, I know you can ; you must not answer Never.

Whilst thus you Chloe turn aside, you frustrate’my endeavour ; That face will fade.come down that pride, your time is now or never.

Ere for yourself or me too late, say now you are mine for ever; I may be snatch’d by Care or Fate, my time is Now or Never,
