y Law. _A Rebus on Lady of Quality, on a Glass at the Old Devil Tavern._ What fly from her Eyes, and the Place whither I Must soon be convey'd to, unless she comply, Is the Name of the Beauty for whom I could die. _N. B._ Darts and _Shafts_ fly from her Eyes, and if one dies, one must be _bury_'d. _Under the Rebus on Lady Sh - - - bury, at the Devil Tavern, is this;_ What opens a Door, and a Word of Offence, Tell the Name of a Nymph of Wit, Beauty, and Sense. Supposed to be for Miss _Ke - ly_. _From the Window of a Chamber in the Inner Temple._ For dear _Venilla_ in my Arms, I'd scorn all other female Charms; Ten thousand Beauties she can spare, And still be _Fairest_ of the _Fair_. _From innumerable Windows._ Like _Mars_ I'll fight, like _Antony_ I'll love, I'll drink like _Bacchus_, and I'll whore like _Jove_. _From the Apollo, the large Dancing-Room in the Devil Tavern, written when some were engaged in a particular Country-Dance._ This Dance foretells that Couple's Life, Who mean to dance as Man and Wife; As here, they'll first with Vigour set, Give Hands, and turn whene'er they meet; But soon will quit their former Track, Cast off and end in Back to Back. _From the Angel Tavern, Temple-Bar._ 'Tis hard! 'tis wonderous hard! That the Life of a Man Should be but a Span, And that of a Woman a Yard! _From a Watch-Maker's Window, Fleet-Street._ Here Time is bought and sold: 'Tis plain, my Friend, My Clocks and Watches shew what I intend; For you I Time correct, My Time I spend; By Time I live, But not one Inch will lend, Except you pay the ready down or send: I trust no Time, Unless the Times do mend. _On a Watch-Case in a Gentleman's Pocket, given him by a Lady._ The Wretched pray to make more Haste, The Happy say we fly too fast; Therefore impossible to know, Whether I go too fast or slow. S. M. _At Hollyhead, I suppose, written by some Creation-Mender._ Arra, now what signifies the making the two great Lights? The Sun to light the Day, and the Moons to light the Nights: For the Sun in the Day-Time there is no Occasion, Because I can see very well after my Persuasion: But for the Moons, they are very good in a dark Night, Because when we cannot see they give us a Light. _Crown at Harlow._ Rail at your Fa
