[ 8 ]
No patch and paint our beauty want,
we live in simple nature.
Drink away, lets be gay, &c.
Third Woman.
No cholic, spleen, or vapours,
at morn, or ev’ning teaze us;
We drink no tea, nor ratifia,
when sick, a dram can ease us.
Drink away, let's be gay, &c.
Fourth Woman.
What Ladies act in private,
by Nature’s soft compliance;
We think no crime, when in our prime,
to kiss without a licence.
Drink away, let’s be gay, &c.
Fifth Woman.
We know no shame or scandal,
the beggar law befriend us;
We all agree in liberty,
and poverty defends us.
Drink away, let’s be gay, &c.
Sixth Woman.
Like jolly beggar wenches,
thus, thus we drown all sorrow;
We live to-day, and ne’er delay
our pleasure till to-morrow.
Drink away, let’s be gay, &c.
FINIS.
