144 TffE SKY-LARK.<br />

From morning sun I'd never grieve,<br />

To toil a hedger or a ditcher,<br />

If that, when I come home at eve,<br />

I might enjoy my friend and pitcher.<br />

My friend so rare, &c.<br />

Tho' fortune ever shuns my door,<br />

I know not what can bewitch her,<br />

With all my heart can I be poor.<br />

With my sweet girl, my friend and pitcher.<br />

My friend so rare, &c*<br />

GLEE.—MIDNIGHT.<br />

<strong>The</strong> thieves are on the prowl, love,<br />

<strong>The</strong> cats are on the howl, love,<br />

And couples, cheek by jowl, love,<br />

Are padding through the street, love.<br />

Watchmen are on the dose, love,<br />

And goblins now have rose, love,<br />

And the night cart now throws, love,<br />

A stinking stench, my sweet love.
