Learnt ſoon to ſquander, jilt, and ſham,
And cuckold eaſy LIMBERHAM,
'Till, all his Land, and Money gone, 50
I left the Fool to lye alone.

Inrich'd with Jewels, Clothes, and Plate,
The Ruins of my Cul's Eſtate,
By the leud Town I grew deſir'd;
Each Fop to SALLY's Bed aſpir'd. 55

Had I play'd on upon the Square,
And eat up ev'ry Year my Heir,
I had been ſon at Eaſe for Life;
But I muſt needs become a Wife!

DUNBO from the Hibernian Shore, 60
As MILO ſtrong, as IRUS poor,
With much more Confidence than Art
Found a ſhort Way to win my Heart;
Too well on me reveng'd Mankind,
And left his rifled Spouſe behind. 65
