They say we shall all be Courted,

Kind Widows as well as maids,

Oh! this will be joyful News:

We'll dress up our Houses with Holly,

We'll broach a Tub of humming Bub,

To treat those that come with a rub a dub dub,

For dear Mother they'll make us Jolly.

Dear Mother to see them mounted,

'Twou'd tickle your Heart with Joy;

By me they all shall be counted,
