To entertain with Nuts and Bottle-Ale;

And in Discourse with secrecy report

Stale News that past a Twelve-month since at Court.

Those of them who are most refin’d and gay,

Now learn the Songs of the last Summer’s Play:

While the young Daughter does in private mourn

Her Love’s in Town, and hopes not to return.

These Country-Grievances too great appear;

But, cruel Ladies, we have greater here;

You come not sharp, as you were wont, to Plays;
