[Not booted foplings when their cloaths misfit]
Not booted foplings when their cloaths misfitNot cleanly nurs maids when the babes be---t
Not the old toper his most dreadful curse
That slinks the last sad sixpence from his purse
Not the young wench that coxcombs lies believd
Not wrinkld dames a second time decievd
Not doubtful bard that first appears in print
Dreading the evils the vain World has int
Not all the plagues that haunt this world below
Nor each sad Victim with his several woe
