| Notes |
Text: Daily you lose your modesty, / And some new freak of fastness try, / Allow me here then to suggest / The vulgar style
that suits you best, / Young Ladies think it is the go / To have two strings unto their bow; / But I'll teach you a faster
thing, / To have two beaus unto your string!
