The fond Keeper's RELAPSE:

A New Song.

Inscrib'd to all whom it may concern: The Words made to a pretty Play-house Tune, call'd, Pretty Poll.

CEladon the gay,
In the merry, merry Month of May,
When the gawdy Flowers enamell'd lay,
      Was with Cælia walking,
            She to move
            Talk'd of Love,
            What could prove
Fitter for the Season, or the Theam of talking;
    Celadon was angry, you may guess,
    He return'd no amorous Look nor Kiss,
    But thus teas'd pretty Miss,
        But thus, &c.

Go Seducer, go——
Let the World no more my folly know,
Nor let odious Names of Miss and Beau
      Shame succeeding Ages;
            Hast away,
            Nothing say,
            I'll go pray,
Reason now at Folly past my Soul enrages:
    I have been your Cully, Slave and Beast,
    Thrown away ten Thousand Pound at least,
        On pretty, pretty Miss,
        On pretty, &c.
