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.
