 | A Farther Search after Claret |  |
How hard of pleas'd Custom we take our farwel!
For next morning, no sooner I got from my Cell,
But a Friend to the Bottle who never knew sorrow,
With a look undisguis'd, kindly bid me good-morrow,
And told me, that since we so luckily met,
Would I lend him my company down to Thames-street,
He'd at Billingsgate give me a Glass of such VVine,
As should make even Envy for get to repine:
But tho I under strong prejudice lay,
Yet was willing to make one more daring essay.
Tho two days disappointed, accepted his motion,
So yeilding my Person up to his Devotion,
Went with him.—As Girls who the Sport once have seen,
Think ev'ry day ten, till they'r at it agen.
