THF CHOICE.
A Man that's neither high nor low,
in party nor in ſtature;
No noiſy rake, nor fickle beau,
that's us'd to cringe and flatter.
And let him be no learned fool
that nods o'er muſty books;
That eats and drinks, and lives by rule,
and weighs my words and looks.
Let him be eaſy. frank, and gay,
of dancing never tired:
Always have ſomething ſmart to ſay,
but ſilient, if requir'd.
F I N I S.
