If the heart of a man is depress'd with cares
Youth's the season made for joys

Before the barn door crowing,

The gamesters and lawyers are jugglers alike
At the tree I shall suffer with pleasure
Man may escape from rope and gun
Thus when a good huswise sees a rat
How cruel are the traitors
The first time at the looking glass
When you censure the age
Is then his fate decreed, Sir?
You'll think ere many days ensue
If you at an office solicit you due
Thus when the swallow seeking prey
How happy could I be with either
I'm bubbled

Cease your funning

Why, how now, Madam Flirt

No power on earth can e'er divide

I like the fox shall grieve

When young at the bar you first taught me to

Score

My love is all madness and folly

Thus gamesters united in friendship, &c.

The modes of the court so common are grown
What gudgeons are we men!

In the days of youth I could bill like a dove
I'm like a skiff on the ocean tost

Hither, dear husband! turn your eyes

When my hero in court appears

When he holds up his hand, arraign'd for his life 91
Ourselves like the great, to secure a retreat
The charge is prepar'd, the lawyers are met
Oh cruel, cruel, cruel, case

Of all the friends in time of grief

Since I must swing-I scorn, I scorn to wince or

whine

But now again my spirits sink
