Robin Aboon (1825)

She show'd me her riches at first,
or, the d—l should have had her for me.
Old wives love men that are young:
young men love money like wise,
Court them with a flattering, tongue,
and soon theyll surrender the prize:
Since it has been my prosp'rous lot.
I wish her no more of ill,
I have got all the money she had,
let her die bow as soon as she will.

Will take s sup in their turn.
Some Doctors will tell you 'twill spoil your hea'th
And justice will say 'twill reduce your wealth:
Physicians and Lawyers will all agree,
When your money's all gone, they can get no fee
