e any wanton Gipsey;
Nor was her Mouth alone the Case,
A Man of Worth might kiss her A----se.

_At a Tavern at the Royal Exchange._

I've now a Coach and Six before me,
Each female court'sies to adore me:
But from my dearest I can't part,
Without returning her my Heart:
Tell her I am gone a Month or longer,
While she may gain more Love, and I grow stronger.

_S. M. Oct._ 17. 1720.

_From a Tavern in Fleet-Street._

I'll drink like _Bacchus_, and I'll fight like _Mars_,
The Kind I'll love, the Cross may kiss my A - - se.

_In the same Room in a Woman's Hand._

Since cruel Fate has robb'd me of the Youth,
For whom my Heart had hoarded all its Truth,
I'll ne'er love more, dispairing e'er to find,
Such Constancy and Truth amongst Mankind.

_Feb._ 18, 1725.

_Underwritten._

I kiss'd her the next Night, and she's one of the _Walkers_ Family.

_Dublin in a Window in Castle-Street._

O mortal Man that's made of Clay,
Is here to-Morrow, and is gone to Day.

_In a Bog-House at Hampstead._

There's Nothing foul that we commit,
But what we write, and what we sh - - t.

_Three-Pigeons at Brentford._

Wer't not for _Whims_, Candles, and Carrots
Young Fellows Things might ride in Chariots.

_Tom Long, July_ 17.

Heaven for all those Helps to Nature,
Or else poor P---- could get no Quarter.

_Letter on a Window at Stony-Stratford, to Miss Mary V - - d - - le._

We shall B in better Q,
When U have I, and I have U.

_From a Window in Hell, near Westminster-Hall._

Old _Orpheus_ tickled his Harp so well,
That he tickled _Eurydice_ out of Hell,
With a Twing come Twang, and a Twing come Twang; but,
Some say _Euridice_ was a Scold
Therefore the Devil of her took hold,
With a Twing come Twang, &c.

S. S. 1714.

_Underwritten._

If my Wife had been e'er in the Devil's Hands, }
You know it would loose all other Bands, }
And I should been pleased with House and Lands. }
