YOU Ladies draw near, I can tell you good News,
If you please to give Ear, or else you may Choose;
Of a British Accountant that's Frolick and free,
Who does wondrous Feats by the Rule of Three.
Addition, Division, and other such Rules,
I'll leave to be us'd by your Scribling Fools;
This Art is Improv'd unto such a Degree,
That he manages all by the Rule of Three.
You Dames that are Wed who can make it appear,
That you lose an Estate for want of an Heir:
