Buy a Purse; a long and a strong Purse!
A good leather or a strong mole-skin Purse!

Buy a Purse.

Buy a Purse; a long and strong Purse,
They’ll suit the young—they suit the old!
To lose good money, what is worse?
Yet it’s daily done for the want of a purse.

Kettles to mend! any Pots to mend?
Daily I say as my way I wend.

Kettles or Pots to Mend!

Kettles to mend! any pots to mend!
You cannot do better to me than send;
Think of the mess when the saucepans run,
The fire put out, and the dinner not done.
