THE SKY-LARK.<br />

*Tis true that silly girls believe<br />

In joys that youth alone can give,<br />

But why should you despair ?<br />

Tis folly governs youth you know,<br />

And so far young you soon may grow, I<br />

And that removes your care.<br />

Whate'er your faults in person, mind,<br />

However gross you chance to find,<br />

Yet why should you despair ?<br />

Of flattery you must buy advice,<br />

You're rich enough to pay the price,<br />

And that removes your care.<br />

CHORUS.<br />

Away with fight and quarrel,<br />

Black eyes, crack'd heads, that bring<br />

Let us attack the barrel,<br />

And jollily, jollily sing<br />

Tol, lol.<br />

Let's drink like hearty fellows<br />

Our Country and our King,<br />

Burn old King Rose's bellows,<br />

And jollily dance and sing<br />

D<br />

Tol, lol.<br />
