2. Each Lady we court, and beg they'd be kind, And when they consent for to be of our mind, We kiss and embrace and do what's to be done, When their Bellies are full we leave them forlorn 3. All Women we see we do hope to enjoy, We think our selves hapy if they prove not coy, Each feature we praise and admire their parts, 'Tho to the next face we do proffer our hearts. 4. So drinking we love too just at the same rate, For when we are at it we foolishly prate; What Acts we have done, and set up for wit, But next mornings pains our pleasures do quit. 5. We drink all the morning both Coffee and Tea, And think there is none live more sober than we, Till to dinner we move then the glass must go round, Full Bumpers of Wine till our senses are drown'd.
6. Then about midnight we reeling home go, And neither the Watchmen or Constable know, Thus wine makes us valiant for when we are drunk We draw at each man for a nasty Town Punk. 7. But Musicks a pleasure, that tires not so soon, Tis pleasant in morning, tis welcome at Noon, Tis charming at nights to sing Catches in parts, It diverts our dull hours, & rejoyces our hearts. 8. But Musick alone without Women and Wine, Will govern but dully tho' never so fine; Therefore by consent we'll enjoy them all three, Wine & Musick for you, & the Women for me. 9. For still of all pleasures there's none can copare, To the joys of a Woman that's charming & fair, She diverts us all day with pleasing delight, Then Raptures of Joy she yields all the night.
