IX. O the Broom, &c.
If you'd an honest Man be deem'd,
In the Affairs of State;
Take Care you're not too well esteem'd,
By Both the High and Great:
In the Affairs of State;
Take Care you're not too well esteem'd,
By Both the High and Great:
Such as---and his Crew,
For if once you are hedg'd in;
They'll teach you how to cheat in Lew,
Of some of their own Kind.
For if once you are hedg'd in;
They'll teach you how to cheat in Lew,
Of some of their own Kind.
Therefore beware, lest you are caught
In Cases of that Kind:
If are you be, your Head comes off,
Which Trifle they don't mind.
In Cases of that Kind:
If are you be, your Head comes off,
Which Trifle they don't mind.
So if my Argument prevails,
And gives you an Insight
Into the Merits of these Fools,
Laugh at their foolish Bite.
And gives you an Insight
Into the Merits of these Fools,
Laugh at their foolish Bite.
