Catches, canons and drinking songs

to your rude health,

Text: Ye heav’ns, if innocence deserves your care,‥

Characters:

Ye heav’ns, if innocence deserves your care,
why have ye made it fatal to be fair?
Base man, the ruin of our sex was born,
the beauteous are his prey, the rest his scorn,
alike unfortunate our fate is such,
we please too little or we please too much.
