“ I could not help thinking the world was unkind,
and Fortune a slipp'ry jade.
But if I can take her once more into tow,
I will let these ungrateful ones see,
That the blust'ring winds and the billows can show,
more kindness than they have for me. ”

“ Each, pull'd off her petticoats, smock and gown,
no sight could ever be sweeter.
Into the pond then they a dabbling went,
so clean that they needed no washing;
But they were all so unluckily bent,
like boys they began to be dashing.
If any should chance to see us says one,
they'd think we are goddess's of evils,
And from the sight of us would quickly run,
to avoid so many white devils. ”

“ You ne'er will think on, you ne'er will think on
You ne'er will think on your charming Molly more.
O! if ten thousand fine girls I could see,
None should enjoy my love but thee,
O then says Molly since you are so true,
I will ne'er wed, love, I will ne'er wed, love,
I will ne'er wed, love, one alive but you. ”
