SOme brag of their Chloris, and some of their Phillis,
Some cry up their Cælia, and bright Amaryllis:
Thus Poets and Lovers their Mistresses dub,
And Goddesses fram’d from the Wash-bowl and Tub;
But away with these Fictions, and Counterfeit Folly:
There’s a thousand more Charms in the Name of my Dolly.
I cannot describe you her Beauty and Wit,
Like Manna to each she’s a relishing Bit;
She alone by Enjoyment, the more does prevail,
And still with fresh Pleasures does hoist up your Sail:
Nay, had you a Surfeit, but took of all others,
One Look from my Dolly your Stomach recovers.
The Mountebank Song. Sung by Dr. Leverigo, and his merry Andrew Pinkanello, in Farewel to Folly. Set by Mr. Leveridge.
