too dear, too charming Creature,
You on Earth a Heav'n impart.
Rapt in Pleasure past expressing,
I with Bliss almost expire;
Cou'd we still be thus possessing,
God's who would your State desire.

Kindling Glances quickning Kisses,
That like Time so soon are past;
Crowding Joys to eager Blisses,
Still renewing may you last:
Nor by a fantastick Fashion,
Being lawful please the less;
But may I indulge my Passion,
Blest in none but her I bless.

TOM _Tinker_.

_Tom_ Tinker's my true love, and I am his Dear,
And I will go with him his Budget to bear;
For of all the young Men he has the best luck,
All the Day he will Fuddle, at Night he will ----
This way, that way, which way you will,

There was an old Woman on Crutches she came,
To lusty _Tom Tinker_, _Tom Tinker_ by Name;
And tho' she was Aged near threescore and five,

_This way_, &c.

A beautiful Damsel came out of the West,
And she was as Jolly and brisk as the best;
She'd Dance and she'd caper as wild as a Buck,
And told _Tom_ the _Tinker_, she would have some ----
_This way_, &c.

A Lady she call'd him her Kettle to mend,
And she resolved her self to attend;
Now as he stood stooping and mending the Brass,
His Breeches was torn and down hung his ----
_This way_, &c.

Something she saw that pleased her well,
She call'd in the _Tinker_ and gave him a spell;
With Pig, Goose and Capon, and good store of suck,
That he might be willing to give her some ----

He had such a Trade that he turn'd me away,
Yet as I was going he caus'd me to stay;
So as towards him I was going to pass,
He gave me a slap in the Face with his ----
_This way_, &c.

I thought in my Heart he had struck off my Nose,
I gave him as good as he brought I suppose;
My Words they were ready and wonderful blunt,
Quoth I, I had rather been
