[Oh ponder well! do not me blame]
Oh ponder well! do not me blame
For Follies that are past,
If e'er I'm guilty of the same,
Then may I be lock'd fast;
For Follies that are past,
If e'er I'm guilty of the same,
Then may I be lock'd fast;
And kept secure from S---e Arms,
Which Blessing I do prize,
And will secure him from all Harms
I can, between my T---.
Which Blessing I do prize,
And will secure him from all Harms
I can, between my T---.
But now my Conscience it does prick,
Macheath, I am afraid,
Will play an artful cunning Trick,
And will us both upbraid.
Macheath, I am afraid,
Will play an artful cunning Trick,
And will us both upbraid.
Captain Macheath is the best skill'd,
If they a Duel fight;
S---e per Chance then may be kill'd,
And Macheath put to Flight.
If they a Duel fight;
S---e per Chance then may be kill'd,
And Macheath put to Flight.

So here there are two Lovers lost;
Then I a new must find;
A RICH one's best to stand the Cost;
On him I'll fix my Mind.
Then I a new must find;
A RICH one's best to stand the Cost;
On him I'll fix my Mind.
