ERE is the Rarity of the whole Fair,

Pimper-le-pimp, and the wise Dancing Mare; Here's valiant St. George and the Dragon, a Farce, A Girl of Fifteen with strange Moles on her A—.

Here is Vienna Besieg'd, a Rare thing,

And here's Punchinello shown thrice to the King;
Then see the Masks to the Cloister repair,
But there will be no Raffling, a Pox take the May'r,

A CATCH set by Doctor BLOW.

Na Seller at Sodom, at the Sign of the T-,

Two buxom young Harlots were drinking with L-; Some say they were his Daughters, no matter for that, They're resolv'd they would souse their old Dad with a Pot:

All fluster'd and bousie, the Doting old Sot,
As great as a Monarch between 'em was got;
Till the Eldest and Wisest thus open'd the Plot,
Pray shew us dear Daddy how we were begot:
Godzoukes, you young Jades, 'twas the first Oath I wot,
The Devil of a Serpent this Humour has taught ;
No matter, they cry'd, you shall Pawn for the shot,
Unless you will shew us how we were begot.

A SONG.

Τ

HERE's such Religion in my Love,
It must like Vertue have Reward;
And Strephon's Faith will from above,
Tho' not below, find due regard :

Tell

Tell me no more of Friends or Foes,
That hinder'd what your Heart design'd;
No Parents can your Love dispose,

No more than they beget your Mind.

Great Love! the Monarch of our Wills,
When I am lost by your Disdain ;
Will doom that Scorn your Lovers kills,
To be your fatal Beauty's bane:
You, like a Bee, has stung my Heart,
Yet there the avenging Dart does lye;
Which gives you in my Fate a part,
And you are undone as well as I.

CHORUS.

IND Heaven no Peace to the Perjur'd allows,

In Fate's gloomy Book keeps account of all
Vows;

And Fove that does view the false and the true,

Knows who kept their Promise, and who deceiv'd who :
Will swear by the Skies, and Ganimede's Eyes,
No Woman that mingles Affection with Art;
And here in the Farce of the World plays a part,
Shall ever hereafter, shall ever hereafter,
Shall ever hereafter break a fond Heart,
Shall ever hereafter break a fond Heart.
