ADVICE FROM A YOUNG LADY TO HER FATHER,
What a hubbub is here, my dear father, of late,
Since you've purchas'd a chariot, and I ride in state!
But their low-liv'd reflections and scandal despise;
For virtue to vice still superior will rise.
Chorus.
Then regard not their arrows, nor their spoons without
bowls,
Since our chariot in contrast so flippantly rolls.
Never mind their composing and writing, a f___t:
Who would not a chariot prefer to a cart?
Let them squirt with their Bishop, their pudding and wheat,
And swear--that the parson you fairly did ch--t,
Still regard not their arrows--------
. . . [26 more lines of chorus]
