To phoo, and cry,
And pish, and fye,
And make a Virgin's coy Pretence,
Is all, all, all, is all, all, all, is all, all, all,
For want of Sense.
_A_ SONG. Tune, _How happy's the Lover_.
How happy's that Husband who after few Years,
Of railing and brawling, Confusion and Folly,
Shall see his Lantipley drown'd in her Tears,
Then prithee _Alexis_ be Jolly, be Jolly,
Then prithee _Alexis_ be Jolly.
_A_ Song. _Set by Mr._ Leveridge.
[Music:
Fortune is blind
and Beauty unkind,
the Devil take 'em both,
one is a witch,
& tothere's a bitch
in neither's Faith or Troth:
There's hazard in hap,
deceit in a Lap,
But no fraud in a Brimmer;
If truth in the bottom lye,
thence to redeem her we'll drain,
we'll drain, we'll drain,
we'll drain the whole Ocean dry.]
Honour's a Toy,
For Fools a Decoy,
Beset with Care and Fear;
And that (I wuss)
Kills many a Puss,
Before her clymacht Year:
But freedom and mirth,
Create a new Birth,
While Sack's the _Aqua Vitae_,
That Vigour and Spirit gives,
Liquor Almighty!
Whereby the poor Mortal lives.
Let us be blith,
In spight of Death's Syth,
And with an Heart and half,
Drink to our Friends,
And think of no Ends,
But keep us sound and safe:
While Healths do go round,
No Malady's found,
The Maw-sick in the Morning,
For want of his wonted strain;
Is as a Warning,
To double it over again.
Let us maintain
Our Traffique with _Spain_,
And both the _Indies_ slight;
Give us their Wines,
Let them keep their Mines,
We'll pardon Eighty Eight:
There's more certain Wealth
Secur'd from stealth,
In one Pipe of Canary,
Than in an unfortunate Isle;
Let us be wary,
We do not our selves beguile.
_The_ LATIN _to the foregoing_ SONG.
_Sors sine visu,
Formaq; Risu,
Sint pro Daemone;
Haec malefica,
Ita venefica,
Fallax utraque;
Sors mea est fors,
Sinusque vecors,
Sed fraus nulla; tu toto
In fundo si veritas sit,
Potu Epoto,
Oceanus situs fit._
_Honor & lusus,
Stultis illusus,
Cara catenata,
Hacque (ut fatur)
Catus necatur,
Morte non parata:
Dum vero Graecamur,
Non Renovamur,
Nam Aqua Vitae vinum,
Vires spiritusque dat,
Idque dicunum,
