row_ Rotts within their _Bones_:
Their _Bodyes_ quickly _Regulate_,
If once but _Sous'd_ in _Chocolate_.
Young _Heires_ that have more _Land_ then Wit,
When once they doe but _Tast_ of it,
Will rather spend their whole _Estate_,
Then _weaned_ be from _Chocolate_.
The _Nut-Browne-Lasses_ of the Land
Whom _Nature_ vayl'd in _Face_ and _Hand_,
Are quickly _Beauties_ of _High-Rate_,
By one small _Draught_ of _Chocolate_.
Besides, it saves the _Moneys_ lost
Each day in _Patches_, which did cost
Them deare, untill of Late
They found this _Heavenly Chocolate_.
Nor need the _Women_ longer _grieve_
Who _spend_ their _Oyle_, yet not _conceive_,
For 'tis a _Helpe-Immediate_,
If such but _Lick_ of _Chocolate_.
_Consumptions_ too (be well assur'd)
Are no lesse _soone_ then _soundly_ cur'd:
(Excepting such as doe Relate
Unto the _Purse_) by _Chocolate_.
Nay more: It's _vertue_ is so much,
That if a _Lady_ get a _Touch_,
Her griefe it will _Extenuate_,
If she but _smell_ of _Chocolate_.
The _Feeble-Man_, whom _Nature_ Tyes
To doe his Mistresse's _Drudgeries_;
O how it will _his minde Elate_,
If _shee_ allow him _Chocolate_!
'Twill make Old women _Young_ and _Fresh_;
Create _New-Motions_ of the _Flesh_,
And cause them _long for you know what_,
If they but _Tast_ of _Chocolate_.
There's ne're a _Common Counsell-Man_,
Whose _Life_ would Reach unto a _Span_,
Should he not _Well-Affect_ the _State_,
And _First_ and _Last_ Drinke _Chocolate_.
Nor e're a _Citizen_'s Chast wife,
That ever shall prolong her _Life_,
(Whilst _open_ stands _Her Posterne-Gate_)
Unlesse she _drinke_ of _Chocolate_.
Nor dost the _Levite_ any Harme,
It keepeth his _Devotion_ warme,
And eke the _Hayre_ upon his _Pate_,
So long as he drinkes _Chocolate_.
Both _High_ and _Low_, both _Rich_ and _Poore_
My _Lord_, my _Lady_, and his _--_
With all the _Folkes_ at _Billingsgate_,
_Bow_, _Bow_ your _Hamms_ to _Chocolate_.
