Catches, canons and drinking songs
to your rude health,
Item: Let the woman be damned a moderate fate, or die...
Song: Let the woman be damned a moderate fate, or die...
Let the Woman be damn'd a moderate fate, or dye an old Maid as grey as a Cat, that her Lover refuses for want of Estate
But let Her that sets Man like a Beast to be sold, and above mettl'd Flesh loves a lump of dead Gold look green when she's young and be p-x'd when she's old
But let those that are wise contemn the dull Store, Wives chose by their weight, will be weighty no more, if for Gold they will wed, for the same they will whore
