To vex a young and pretty neighbour;
But by her scandal-zealous labour
To shame she brought him!
For, the Old Parrot, like his teacher
Was but a false and canting preacher,
And many a gamesome pair had sworn
Such lessons were not to be borne.
At last, Miss Debby sore was flouted
And by her angry neighbours scouted;
She never knew one hour of rest,
