THE LADIES AMUSEMENTS.
This morning is so very fine,
we’ll to the meadows walk,
And when we to the town return,
with shop-men we will talk.
And a shoping we will go.
We’ll look at ribbons, laces, gloves,
and none of them we’ll buy,
But tell the haberdasher lads,
we’ll call another day.
And, &c.
Next to the mercers we will haste,
we'll teaze their silks a while.
And say we're vex’d for troubling them,
then leave them with a smile.
And, &c.
Hard ware and pretty glittering things,
how shall we them refuse;
We'll say they're for a country friend,
and therefore cannot chuse.
And, &c.
Upholsterers shall not escape,
