How lovely's a Woman before she's enjoy'd, When the Spirits are strong, & the fancy not cloy'd; wee admire ev'ry part, tho' never so plain, which when throughly possest wee quickly disdaine Mr. John Reading.
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 Morning's Pains our Pleasures do quitt But Musicks A pleasure, that tyres not so soone, 'Tis pleasant in Mornings, 'tis welcome at Noone 'Tis charming at Nights to sing Catches in parts It diverts our dull hour's, and rejoyces our hearts. But Musick alone, without Women and Wine, Will govern but dully tho' never so fine Therefore by consent wee'll enjoy them all three Wine and Musick for you, and the Women for me.
