Young ladies, I declare, so dressy now they are,
Upon my soul, they spend the cole,
But the skuttle they still wear.
Upon my soul, they spend the cole,
But the skuttle they still wear.
(Speaking).
'Tis the fashion, now, for our beaux to dress in blue, and our
ladies in buff.—Observe a beaux with boots to his hips, like a gingerbread
cock and breeches at a fair—My dear madam, I love you; but I am half
seas over, and that's the reason I just now tumbled into the river.—I had
such fun with the mob—I pin'd one cracker to an old woman's wig, and
popp'd another into a fat man's pocket.—Away went the jasey! and the fat
man hop'd about like a dancing elephant.—Will you marry me? I'm the
man for you!—“Oh, dear, sir, you flurry me to such a degree!”—But let
me not be too severe upon matrimony; for english wives certainly are the
best in the word; bless their little hearts! I wish every one of them to have
Pudding &c.
