41

When favours are granted, Nobody's rewarded;
When examined, ſhe cries, Ye mortals forbid it,
If I'm got with child, 'twas Nobody did it.
No Nobody, &c.

When by ſtealth the gallant the wanton wife leaves,
His footſteps are heard, and her ſpoaſe cries, 'Tis thieves !
He ſtarts In a frights and cries loudly, Whoſe there?
His wife pats his cheek, and ſays, Nobody dear.
No body, &c.

Nobody's a name every body will own
When ſomething they ſhould be aſham'd of is done:
'Tis a name very fit for old Maids and young Beauxs.
For what they were made for, Nobody knows:
No Nobbdy, &c.

Of Nobody now enough has been ſung,
If Nobody's angry. then Nobody wrong;
I hope for free ſpeaking I ſhall not be blam'd,
Now who can be angry when Nobuy's nam'd,
No Nobody, &c.
