W:2. As I soon may roll in pleasure   Bumpkins I must bid adieu:
W:Can you think that such a treasure,   Ere was destin'd Man for you.
W:No:_ mayhap when I am carried   'Mongst the great to dance and sing,
W:To some great Lord I may be married   All allow "I'm quite the thing." &c.
W:
W:3. Beaus to me will then be Kneeling   Maam I die if you don't yield"
W:Let 'em plead their tender feeling   While my tender heard is steel'd,
W:When I dance they'll be delighted   Ravish'd quite to hear me sing
W:At Routs whenever I'm invited   All will swear she's quite the thing." &c.
