PRAY GOODY.

Pray, Goody, please to moderate the
rancour of your tongue,

Why flash those sparks of fury from
your eyes?
Remember when the judgment's weak
the prejudice is strong,
A stranger why will you despise?
Ply me, try me,
Prove e'er you deny me;
If you cast me off, you'll blast me,
Never more to rise.
Pray, Goody, &c.
