While this was a-doing,
Her Maid I was wooing:
She did like her Lady,
But made me a Daddy.

But leaves me starving with Despair. }
'Tis now full Eight, I fear her Spouse
Has given her a Rendezvous.
_Those five Lines were crossed out; but then follows:_
D - - - mn the first Lines, they are not mine,
T'abuse a Lady so divine;
Altho' I waited for her Hours,
I have enjoy'd her lovely Powers,
Her Wit, her Beauty, and her Sense,
Have fully made me Recompence.
Captain _R. T._ _July_ 10. 1710.

Friend Captain T,
If thou can'st C,
Mind what I have to say to thee,
Thy Strumpet Wh--re abominable,
Which thou didst kiss upon a Table,
Has made thy manly Parts unable.

_Letter to _Will S - - - rs_, Esq;_
Dear _Will_,

Be at your will,
Whene'er you will,
And where you will;
So that your Will
Be Good-Will,
I never will
Dispute your Will;
But give you Will

Or Common Time,
Or Tripple Time,
Are not Times
Like your Times
And my Times
For Pastimes.
Then betimes
Suit your Time
To my Time;
Or my Time
Is lost Time.
I wish you well,
And hope you're well,
As I am well;
So all's well
That ends well;
Then farewell.
