The Disparity of YOUTH and AGE.
What should a merry, airy, lively, youthful, blooming Lass,Do with a mumbling, bumbling, grumbling, stumbling, fumbling Ass;
Youth and Age but ill agree.
Such a Man's no Match for me:
Coughing, spitting,
Thwarting, twitting,
Ever teazing,
Never pleasing;
Hang his Money, hang his Bags,
Give me Youth, Content and Rags.
