Ten thouſaud various ſcheme I trs’d,
but yet was pleaſ’d with none
threw them by and ruin'd my pipe
to John of Badenyon.
And now ye youngſters every-where,
who want to make a ſhow,
Take heed in time nor vainly hope
for happineſs below;
What you may fancy pleaſure here,
is but an empty name.
For girls and friend and books alſo,
you’ll find them all the fame,
Then be advis’d and warning take,
from ſuch a man as me,
I’m neither Pope nor Cardinal,
I nor one of high degree;
You’ll find displeaſure every-where,
then do as I have done,
E’en tune your pipe and pleaſe yourſelf
with John of Badenyon.
TULLICHGORUM.
COME gi’e‘s ſang, Montgomery cry'd,
And lay our diſputes all aside.
What nonsense is’t in folks to chide
For what was dose before them!
