re he goes, may you go, and I go_. To the Soldiers so kind, And so humbly inclin'd, To wave his Applause gain'd at _Vigo_; Yet so kind and so true, He gave all Men their due, _Then where he goes, may you go, and I go_. We justly do own, All the Honour that's won, In _Flanders_, as well as at _Vigo_; But our Subject and Theme, Is of ORMOND's great Name, _And where he goes, may you go, and I go_. Then take off the Bowl, To that Generous Soul, That Commanded so bravely at _Vigo_; And may ANNA approve, Of our Duty and Love, _And where he goes, may you go, and I go_. _A Cure for Melancholy._ [Music] Are you grown so Melancholy, That you think on nought but Folly; Are you sad, Are you Mad, Are you worse; Do you think, Want of Chink Is a Curse: Do you wish for to have, Longer Life, or a Grave, _Thus would I Cure ye_. First I would have a Bag of Gold, That should ten Thousand Pieces hold, And all that, In thy Hat, Would I pour; For to spend, On thy Friend, Or thy Whore: For to cast away at Dice, Or to shift you of your Lice, _Thus would I Cure ye_. Next I would have a soft Bed made, Wherein a Virgin should be laid; That would Play, Any way You'll devise; That would stick Like a Tick, To your Thighs, That would bill like a Dove, Lye beneath or above, _Thus would I Cure ye_. Next that same Bowl, where _Jove_ Divine, Drank _Nectar_ in, I'd fill with Wine; That whereas, You should pause, You should quaff; Like a _Greek_, Till your Cheek, To _Ceres_ and to _Venus_, To _Bacchus_ and _Silenus_, _Thus would I Cure ye_. Last of all there should appear, Seven Eunuchs sphere-like Singing here, In the Praise, Of those Ways, Of delights; _Venus_ can, Use with Man, In the Night; When he strives to adorn, _Vulcan's_ Head with a HORN, _Thus would I Cure ye_. But if not Gold, nor Woman can, Nor Wine, nor Songs, make merry then; Let the Batt, Be thy Mate, And the Owl; Let a Pain, In thy Brain, Make thee Howl; Let the Pox be thy Friend, And the Plague work thy end, _Thus I would Cure you_. _To his fairest_ VALENTINE _Mrs._ A.
