this Day to Mirth, and I an sure she who thinks herself my Wife will testify
her Joy by a Dance.
ALL. Come, a Dance----a Dance.
MACHEATH. Ladies, I hope you will give me leave to present a Partner to
each of you. And (if I may without Offence) for this time, I take Polly for
mine.----And for Life, you Slut,----for we were really marry'd.----As for
the rest.----But at present keep your own Secret.
A DANCE.
Air LXIX.--Lumps of Pudding, &c.
Thus I stand like the Turk, with his Doxies around;
From all Sides their Glances his Passion confound;
For Black, Brown, and Fair, his Inconstancy burns,
And different Beauties subdue him by turns:
Each calls forth her Charms, to provoke his Desires;
Though willing to all, with but one he retires.
But think of this Maxim, and put off your Sorrow,
The Wretch of To-day, may be happy To-morrow.
CHORUS: But think of this Maxim, &c.
FINIS.
