(2) To the Tund of, To you Fair Ladies now at Land. 1 YE Ladies Fair, of Britia[n]s isles, In Country, Town, or Court; That deal in reciprocal Smiles, At Places of Resort: Soft Beauteous Dames, when Virtue fails, Beware of peeping Abigails. With a Fal la, la. 2 When the soft Fire of lawless Love Invades a Tender Mind, And gives a strange desire to rove, For Variety inclin'd; Secure yourselves from being undone, And Swains from Verdicts of Cri[?] Con. With a Fal la, la. 3 While Slaves and Varlets pry about, To find out an Amour, What each Unworthy Servile Lout Ne'er thought to do before: But Plac'd i'the Customs and Excise, Because they'd neither Ears nor Eyes. With a Fal, la la. 4 A C----ntess near Hanover Square, Whom I care not to name, That for a certain Noble P------r She hath an Ardent Fl[a]me A Curtain through a Window thrown, The Signal sure her E[-]ils from Home. With a Fal, la, la. 5. Sir R---- Business lay aside For Half-a dozen Hours Leaves Brother C--------- the H--lm to guide, And deal with Foreign Powers; Devested of his Trusty Jack, Slides cross the Park in Curtain'd Hack. With a Fal, la la. 6. When Nation State, and Great Debate, Call P[?]------[?] Voice and Power, Let no Gr[?]n[?] G[?]d empty Pate Dis[t]u[r]b [?] happy Lover. My
(3) My Life, my Soul, could there be Ill In making party at Quadrile? With a Fal, la la. 7. Brisk Lady M--r--y trips the Park Each Day for Morning Air, Attended by her Scarlet spark, Kind Guardian of the Fair: Her Spouse disturbs not his Repose At Honour's Debts, or Pale-fac'd Beaus. With a Fal, la, la 8. The Chariot's order'd just at Five By T---------n to her Prayers: John, where you was last Night, pray drive; Don't Babble for your Ears. But why should this gay Girl be blam'd, When her Mamma can do the same. With a Fal, la, la. 9. Near to N[-]-th------pton's antient Town, As Stories do relate, There liv'd a Pair whom Hymen crown'd; But O! Unhappy Fate! The Tenderest Husband now complains, True blue hath left the foulest Stains. With a Fal, 10. The Warriour, conscious of his Crime, Forsook the Guilty Sheets, When Morning coming in its Prime, And cowardly retreats; Hail, hail, thrice hail, the bottle-Rack, When Vengeance peep'd behind his back. With a Fal, la, la 11: Polly still wantons in Excess, And in her Hero's arms, Till in his Eyes her Charms grow less, And some new Face alarms, For to confound the Joys of Life. And make a yet more wretched Wife; With a Fal, la, la 12. One D---------ss Meets, another Parts, Oh I sad uncertain State Of the most high and Noble Hearts, Most miserably Great! The Fairest D---------ss in this Land, Still mourns her silent S---------d--d. With a Fal, 13 C--pe--lla rivals all in Dress, At Courtly Shews and balls;
(4) Her Tissue Rich, and Finest Lace, For Admiration calls. If once her Rural Mien finds Grace, She charms her Consort into Place. With a Fal, 14 Psyche at Home's confind to sit, Her P---r to entertain, At Ombre, Quadrille, or Picquette, Late Visits must refrain. He ramble will no more astray, Nor Odd Sights show to L---y K--y. With a Fal 15 L--d Rattle keeps a single brace, The more for Mode than Use; His Sins have brought him off his Pace, A Life ne'er more profuse. When Helpmate's Tongue doth fire his Blood, Like Chartr--s, swears he'll keep a Stud. With a Fal, 16 Fine H-y seeing her Spouse decline, Advises Foreign air; At Midnight Revels she may shine Amongst the Gallant Fair. He one Way walks, and she another, The' Example of a goodly Mother With a fal, 17 Poor Sapphos Tears are quite dryd up For her Departed Spouse, Of Sorrow's and affl[i]ction's Cup, Did heartily Carouse. She tire will the greatest Turk, The F[?]hes Five cant do her Work. With a fal, 18 Though S--r--h stricken much in Years, Loves still to hear the Sport, And oftentimes falls into Tears, For strange Things done at C--rt: Of Lady This, and Lady That, She'll leave her bags whole Hours to chat. With a Fal 19 From wealthy L--strtet and M-rk-l-ne, Mark well what I do say; Two wanton Dames of buxom Fame, In Jewels Rich and Gay, Assemble at each Carding-Room, Neglecting all thats dear at Home. With a Fal, 20 From thence with Ribbons of all Hues, To well-known S[-]ff[-]lk-Street, That famous Rival of the Stews, A Safe and snug Retreat; d[?] Husbands may expostulate, Till your Repentance comes too late. With a Fal, la, la.
