CHAR.
Love is a lady's profession,
Her heart is so tenderly cast,
Like wax it will take an impression,
But then the impression will last.

True love never varies its fashion,
Cease cruel parents to blame!
How trivial and hasty your passion;
Our passion is always the same.

      CHORUS.

And bobbing about to the fiddle, &c.


TIP.
Let a chambermaid join in the ditty,
Who laughs at the name of a wife!
What woman that ever was pretty,
Would think of one lover for life.
Should numbers prefer their petition,
And now I have numbers in sight;
Remember I give you permission,
To visit me every night.

      CHORUS.

Bobbing about to the fiddle, &c.
