Jack lov’d hi. friend, and was true to his Molly, And if honor gave greatnefi, was as great nt a king. _ . . One clay as we drove with two rtefs m the m.tin-fail, A feud came on low’ring upon a lee If ore ; Juk went m» aloft lor to hand the u>j> gallant-fail, A fpray wafhM him off, and we ne’er law him more.
