THE HUE AND CRY
O yes! --hear, all ye beaux and wits,
Musicians, poets, 'squires, and cits,

And if in concert, or alone,
The cooing murmurer makes her moan!

Who keeps, who married, fails or thrives,
Leads honest, or dishonest lives;
What money match'd each youth or maid,
And who was at each masquerade:
