Irish widow (1802)

Summary

Irish widow (1802)

“ The study of my life's to bless,
⁠and please my dear my graceful Nanny.
How much unlike my fair to those,
⁠whose wanton looks are free to any,
I'd give the world could I disclose,
⁠the fifteenth part the worth of Nanny;
Let bucks and bloods in burnt champaign,
⁠toast Lucy, Charlotte, Poll, and Fanny,
At nothing so absur'd and vain,
⁠I'd smile and clasp my blameless Nanny.
GLASGOW,
Printed by J. & M. Robertson, Saltmarket, 1802.
