The Seven ſhall take the Six,
and the Six ſhall take the Five,
And we ſhall all be merry boys,
as now we're all alive. Here's &c.


The five ſhall take the Four,
and the Four ſhall take the Three,
And we ſhall all be merry boys,
as now we all agree. Here's to you, &c.


The Three ſhall take the two,
and the Two ſhall take the One,
And we ſhall all be merry boys,
as now our ſong is done.
Here's to you Tom Broun, &c.

CHARMING SALLY.

CAN the weak taper's feeble rays,
Or lamp's tranſmit the ſun's bright blaze,
Oh! no—Then ſay, how Shall I
In words, be able to expreſs
My love it burns to ſuch exceſs?
I almoſt die for Sally.


When late I wandered o'er the plain,
From nymph to nymph I ſtrove in vain,
My wild deſires to rally,
But now they're of themſelves come home,
And ſtrange! no longer ſeek to roam,
They center all in Sally.
