Let scandal hold her tongue
And bid dull care avaunt.
Now single men get wives, the States may soldiers need,
There’s plenty to be had, if parties are agreed;
Learn them all to shoot, to them it will be sport,
Say you’re fathers fought before, then certainly you ought to—
Go it while you’re young, &c.
leasure, life is but a span,
Gayety’s a treasure, seize it while you can,
Old men couldn’t go it, were they to be hung,
