Grace after Meat.

Our hearty Thanks we humbly pay
For the Blessings we have tasted;
Lord send such Christnings every Day,
That we may thus be feasted.
We bless thee for each merry Dame,
And her good Conversation:
O bring them yearly to the same
Blest end of their Creation.
May they abound in Girls and Boys,
Yet still and still be kist on;
That we may meet, and thus rejoice
To make each Babe a Christian.
Bless all good Women in their married State,
Make their Pains easy, and their Pleasures great.
