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, ere you deny me ;
If you cast me off, you’ll blast me
Never more to rise.
Pray, goody, &c.
