The HISTORY of

Let us quit the dull sage,
And since ca es don t engage,
I'll be cheerful because it is odd.

May the wife who from home,
Scarce venturer to roam,
For this once too will venture abroad;
And tho' husbands will rule,
Yet she cries I'm a fool,
If to day I can't dare to be odd.

Thus odd folks under heaven,
May of odd things meke even,
And of all my experience ease the load;
Then for my sake this day,
Leave your cares as they may,
And to Marybone come and be odd.

FINIS.
