A SONG,
Pasted upon the Walls, and scattered about the Town of Rothbury, several Years ago.
Young Solomon, tir’d of a bachelor’s life,

To a lie-loving hussy, and impudent flirt,
Let him take what the captains of Alemouth have left,
And of comfort I warrant he will be bereft.
If a creature he takes who in muslin would shine,
