The OLD MAID'S EPISTLE to the BACHELORS
of the Village.
YE B>chelor’*, too long you’ve tarry’d ;
’Tistime, high time that you were marry’d ;
For heaven itfclf” ordain’d to tie men
With women in the bands of hymen.
Yc boobies, bafhful, backward, blundering,
How long mud we be waiting, wondering ?
Say, why so timid, why that diltance !
We promise you but faint refinance.
While the day lads, up and be doing,
Now’s the accepted time for wooing ;
Here's many a lufeious lass for market;
iiut not a lad who dares to spark it!
In Alflead, pry’theenever tell on’t.
That Walpole furniflies no gallant !
In Marlow-row n proclaim it never,
A Walpole laf* finds none to have her !’
Should you remain as tame as sheep, here,
“We’ll take advantage of this leap-year ;
Full oft by us you (hall bevifited,
In terms pathetic oft solicited ;
V*e'll take possession ot your houses,
And let you know we’ll be your spouses !
Should this plan fail, fiiould you refufe us,
Or show falfe colours, to amuse us,
“We’ll hie to congress, with p'tition,
Delcribing our forlorn condition ;
To Sunday simpers ferew our faces,
Before their honors ope our cases ;
Inform them how, that this our nation
Suffers, for lack of population ;
That we’re prepar’d, it ’tis their pleasure,
Toaflift in any lawful measure,
To people wcitcrri wildernefTes,
With Jothams, Molls, and Nabs, and Bcffes.
BETTY BROAD FACE, Correfunding Sec'ry ,
To the Independent Confederacy oj Old Maids.
Lines tea Y’ounc Lady.
MARIA tells me to refrain from woe,
Nor captious let fell tears my cheeks bedew ;
Perhaps, indeed my tears may cease to flow,
But, itill believe me, I mull iigh for you.
