He. If good Nature works no better,
Blowzabella I'd have you to know,
Though you fancy my Stock is so low,
I've more Rhino than always I show,
For some good Reasons of State that I know.
She. Since your Cheating I always knew,
For my Ware I got something too,
I've more Sence than to tell to you.
He. Singly then let's imploy Wit,
I'll use Pipe as my gain does hit,
She. And If I a new Chapman get,
You'll be easy too,
He. Easy as any worn out Shoo.
[CHORUS of both.]
Free and Frolick we'll Couple Gratis,
Thus we'll show all the Human Race;
That the best of the Marriage State is,
Blowzabella's and Collin's Case.

A Serenading Ode;
The Words made to the foregoing Italian
Pastorella, and humbly Dedicated to the
Right Honourable the Earl of Fingall.
PAstorella, Inspire the Morning,
Your bright Eyes will create a Day;
Envious Phœbus is just returning,
Shame him back with a brighter Ray,
A brighter Ray, Ray, each adorer with flaming heart,
Before thy beauty Divine does kneel;
With Devotion in every part,
Much stronger than any Persian Zeal.
