SONG.

[Take Care thou do'st thy self no wrong]

[Good Barly makes good Mault]

[Hush, (says the Parson) Wife remember this]

[Old Cambridge brings forth Men of Learning and Parts]

[Where Women, doubtless, are possest]

[So a Proud Minx does lead about]

[Over thy Head I ring this Bell]

[Old Cambridge brings forth Men of Learning and Parts]

Old Cambridge brings forth Men of Learning and Parts,
Dame Natures dark Laws to unriddle;
And Since she's the Midwife of Science and Arts,
'Tis fit she be known by a Cradle.
