Each Nymph or sixteen,
Who would fain be a wife;
Shall soon have a partner
To bless her for life.
Then please hither come,
To the sound of my drum,
I have sweethearts in store,
That you never have seen: Then haste, &c.

Would a youth be but blest,
With a Nymph to his mind,
Let him enter my list,
And his wish he will find.
I can bless him for life,
With a kind loving wife,
More beautiful far,
Than the Nymph e'er was seen. Then, &c.

In Paphas we know
No disorder nor strife;
Each Nymph and each Swain,
May be happy for life,
In transport and joy,
We each moment employ,
And taste such delights,
As never yet was seen. Then haste, &c.


My MOTHER did so before ME.

IAM a brisk young lively Lass,
a little more than twenty;
And by my comely air and dress,

I can have sweethearts plenty;
