| [?] You young-men all I pray draw neer, / That does desire a song to hear, / It will teach you what wife for to chuse, / Who to take, and who to refuse, / And a man may have a woman in a trice, / They are termed to the chance o'th Dice, / But you must venture, have at all, / Whether you stand or get a fall. | |
