A Little Pretty Pocket-book/I sent a Letter to my Love

by John Newbery

I sent a Letter to my Love.

The Lads and Lasses here are seen,
⁠All gaily tripping o'er the Green;
But one among them, to her Cost,
⁠The Treasure of her Heart has lost.

Rule of Life.

If prosperous, of Pride beware:
Changes of Fortune frequent are.
