            <text>      I. &#13;
STate and Ambition, all Joy to great Caesar,   			     Sawney shall ne'er be my Colly my Cow;&#13;
All hail to the shades, all joy to the Bridegroom,     			     and call upon Dobin with Hi, je, ho.&#13;
Remember ye Whigs what was formerly done,     			     and Jenny come tye my bonny Cravat;&#13;
If I live to grow Old, for I find I go down,     				     for I cannot come every day to Wooe.     &#13;
&#13;
													          II.&#13;
Jove in his Throne was a Fumbler, Tom Farthing,  		     and Jockey and Jenny together did lye;&#13;
Oh Mother Roger, Boys, fill us a Bumper,     			     for why will you dye, my poor Caelia, ah!  why?&#13;
Hark! how the thundring Cannons do roar,   			     Ladies of London, both wealthy and fair,&#13;
Charon mast hast, and Ferry me over,     				     Lilli burlero, bellen a lah.&#13;
&#13;
													     III.&#13;
Cloris awake, Four-pence-half-penny-farthing,  			     give me the Lass that is true Country bred;&#13;
Like John of Gaunt, I walk in Covent-garden,    			     I am a Maid, and a very good Maid.&#13;
Two bonny Lads was Sawney and Jockey, 			     the Delights of the Bottle, and Charms of good Wine&#13;
Wading the Water so deep, my sweet Moggy,     			     cold and raw, let it run in the right Line.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
													          IV.&#13;
Old Obadiah sings Ave Maria,     						     sing Lulla-by-Baby, with a Dildo;&#13;
The Old Woman and her Cat sate by the Fire,   			     now this is my Love, d' y' like her ho?&#13;
Old Charon thus preach'd to his Pupil Achilles,    			     and under this Stone here lies Gabriel John:&#13;
Happy was I at the sight of fair Phillis,    				     what should a young Woman do with an old Man.     &#13;
&#13;
													          V.&#13;
There's an old Father Petres with his Romish Creatures. 	     there was an old Woman sold Pudding &amp; Pies&#13;
Cannons with Thunder shall fill them with wonder 		     I once lov'd a Lass that had bright rowling eyes&#13;
There's my Maid Mary she do's mind her Dairy,  		     I took to my heels, and away I did run,&#13;
And bids him prepare to be happy to morrow,   			     alas! I don't know the right end of a Gun.      &#13;
&#13;
													          VI.&#13;
My Life and Death do's lye both in your Power,    		     and every Man to his Mind, Shrowsbury for me;&#13;
On a Bank of a Brook as I sate fishing,    				     shall I dye a Maid now, and ne'er Married be.&#13;
Uds bobs, Let Oliver now be forgotten,     				     Jone is as good as my Lady in the dark:&#13;
Cuckold's are Christians, Boys, all the World over,  		     and here's a full Bumper to Robin John Clark.</text>
