A LOVERS’ QUARREL.
11
We are seamen in woeful case.
Help in the ocean-space!
Or, if no help, we'll embrace.

9.
See, how she looks now, drest
In a sledging-cap and vest.
'Tis a huge fur cloak—
Like a reindeer's yoke
Falls the lappet along the breast:
Sleeves for her arms to rest,
Or to hang, as my Love likes best.

10.
Teach me to flirt a fan
As the Spanish ladies can,
Or I tint your lip
With a burnt stick's tip
