Then, when you're safe from danger, riding ”][w TWAS Monday morn, the smiling day When Crispin, full of mirth and play, His awl and last were laid aside, To fuddle he set out; On Monday it was Crispin's pride In vain it was that flippant Nell With other snobs he pass'd the day, All work won't do without some play, From From morn to night he drank and play'd, Let's push about the quart. The sun departed to the west, Yet, in his dreams, this fill'd his head, IFE is chequer'd; toil and pleasure On the deck is heard no other sound, Let the can go round. Then hark to the boatswain's whistle! whistle! But let's drink all the while; For labour's the price of our joy. Life is chequer'd; toil and pleasure Hark! Hark! the crew with sun-burnt faces, On the deck is heard no other sound, &c, &c. Life is chequer'd; toil and pleasure Let them lose or win, On the deck is heard no other sound, &c, &c. WHEN first Miss Kitty came to town, With round-ear'd cap and russet gown, Mittens nice and straw hat new, Pattens high and stockings blue; Tho' winds blew great guns, Still he'd whistle and sing Oh! the broom, the bonny bonny broom, Yet I'd have you to know, there are sweepers→ Tinker and a tailor, A soldier and a sailor-To Ease his heart and own his flame, Young Young Jockey to her cottage came, Beggar I am, and of low degree, My club-room so great, I'm seated in state, And twenty fidlers all of a row, Five and twenty fidlers all of a row; There was fiddle faddle, treble bass and double, stop, short, flats, and sharps. It is Bet Jenks's birth-day, WHEN my money was gone that I gain'd in the wars, And the world it did frown at my fate, What matter'd my zeal or my honoured scars, When indifference stood at each gate? That face that would smile when my purse was well lin❜d, Shows a different aspect to me; And, when I could nought but ingratitude find, I hied me again to the sea. I thought I thought 'twas unjust for to pine at my lot, A handkerchief held all the treasure I had, The sea was less troubled by far than my mind; And, when the wide main I survey'd, I could not help thinking the world was unkind, And Fortune a slippery jade. I swear, if once more I take her in tow, That the turbulent winds, and the billows could show More kindness than they did to me. I'VE travell'd afar from my dear native home, And seen lovely women past telling; In one place or t'other, as fancy may roam, I've wander'd and took up my dwelling: Dear women I prize wherever they be, Tho' jesters and coxcombs may rally; But she that most charms and is pleasing to me, Is Sally, my sweet pretty Sally, The maid of the green, pretty Sally.
