er_, &c. The Hostess, the Cousin, and Servant, we find, _With a hey down_, &c. Made Courtesies, and thank'd them for being so kind, _Without ever_, &c. The Hostess said, welcome kind Gentleman all, _With a hey down_, &c. If you chance to come this way be pleased to call, _Without ever_, &c. Then taking their Leaves they went merrily out, _With a hey down, ho down, Lanktre down, derry_, And they're gone for to Travel the Nation about, _Without ever a Stiver of Money_. _The Maids_ CONJURING _Book_. [Music] A Young Man lately in our Town, He went to Bed one Night; He had no sooner lay'd him down, But was troubled with a Sprite: So vigorously the Spirit stood, Let him do what he can, Sure then he said it must be lay'd, By Woman, not by Man.

But all shall be Serene and Fair, No sad complaints of Love, Shall fill the gentle whispering Air, No Ecchoing sighs, the Grove. Beneath the shades young _Strephon_ lies, Of all his wish possess'd; Gazing on _Sylvia's_ charming Eyes, Whose Soul is there confess'd. All soft and sweet the Maid appears, With looks that know no Art; And though she yields with Trembling Fears, She yields with all her Heart. _The_ PRESBYTERS _Gill_. [Music] Hang the Presbyters Gill, Bring a Pint of Sack, _Will_, More Orthodox of the two; Though a slender D
