Should he think of another

Printed for and sold by J. Pitts, No. 14, Great
Saint Andrew Street, 7 Dials.

YOUNG Jocky calls me his delight,
And woos me night and morning,
I treat his passion still with slight,
His fondness always scorning;
Yet love him still, I must own I do,
Tho' I my passion smother,
And I should die I own its true,
Should he think of another.

A blooming garland 'other day,
He brought, I own 'twas pleasing,
Yet I the present threw away,
And wantonly was teasing;
Why should I thus torment a swain,
And my own fondness smother,
When I should die with grief and pain,
Should he think of another.

Let prudence be each virgin's guide,
And reason be prevailing;
Let vanity be set aside,
Coquettery and railing;
If Jocky offers me his hand,
No more my love I'll smother,
So wedded I'll obey command,
And vow to love no other.

MANTZ, FINSBURY.
