Now I'll lay by my grey-breeks,
Which Molly ſo neatly, clouted O,
I'll buy a ſuit of new clothes,
And not be long about it, O.
Yet my old worthy grey-breeks,
I ſtill will keep beſide me O.
I'll not forget my old ſtate,
Whatever may betide me O.
All young men that loves a maid,
I beg you don't deceive her O,
Nor never with a woman wed,
Who has had a bad behaviour O.
A prudent wife a bleſsing is,
And ornament to her huſband;
A virtuous wife will bleſs your life.
While jilts are always grudging.

THE TEMPEST.
Ceaſe rude Boreas, bluſt'ring railer,
Liſt' ye landmen all to me,
Meſs mates hear a brother ſailor
ſing the dangers of the ſea
From bounding billows firſt in motion,
when the diſtant whirlwinds riſe,
To the tempeſt troubled ocean,
when the ſeas contend with ſkies.
Hark! the boatſwain hoarſely bawling,
by top-ſail ſheets and hallyards ſtand:
Down top-gallants, quick, be hawling,
down your ſtay-ſails, hand boys, hand
Liſt' ye landmen all to me,
Meſs mates hear a brother ſailor
ſing the dangers of the ſea
From bounding billows firſt in motion,
when the diſtant whirlwinds riſe,
To the tempeſt troubled ocean,
when the ſeas contend with ſkies.
Hark! the boatſwain hoarſely bawling,
