[Bless the good Ladies and good Food]
Bless the good Ladies and good Food,
That Heav'n has set before us;
And may we Men prove all so good,
The Women may Adore us.
That Heav'n has set before us;
And may we Men prove all so good,
The Women may Adore us.
May these thy Fruitful Dames Live long,
Grow ev'ry Day more Handsome:
And may their Husbands prove as strong
I'th Back, as Second Sampson.
Grow ev'ry Day more Handsome:
And may their Husbands prove as strong
I'th Back, as Second Sampson.

May they Dance Merrily each Night,
Without a Pipe or Tabour;
And Mother Midnight bring to Light,
The Fruit of all their Labour.
God Save the King, and send quite thro' the Realm,
Without a Pipe or Tabour;
And Mother Midnight bring to Light,
The Fruit of all their Labour.
Men may Obey, and Women Rule the Helm.
