Why must my morning sun go down at noon ?
DEATH.

Talk not of noon, you may as well be mute,

This is no time at all for to dispute;

Youi 1iches, jewels, gold, and ga1ments brave,

You1 house and lands, must allb new masters have.

Though they by age me full of grief and pain,

Yet their appointed time they must 1‘.emain

* LADY.

: My heart is cold, I tremble at the news ;

:53- Here’s bags of gold, if thou wilt me excuse,

And seize on those (thus finish thou the strife,)

On such as are more weary of their life,

Are there not many bound in prison strong,

In bitter grief of soul have languish’d long?

All such would find the grave a place of 1est,

'. F 10111 all their g1ief1n which they a1e onp1ess ’;d

‘2‘: Besides, theres many with their hoary heads,

I .And palsy djoints, by which then st1ength 1s fled.

.; DEATH.

‘ " 1 Though thy vain heart to riches was inclin’d,

Yet thou must die and leave them all behind,

I come to none hefoie my w 111ant’s seal d

And when it is they must submit. and yield

1 take no bribe—believe me, this IS tr-ue

Prepaie yours self to go, I 1n come for you.
LADY,

Death ! be not so severe; let me obtain

A little longer time to live and reign :

Fain would I stay, if thou my life will spare,

I have a daughter beautiful and fair,

~' I’d live to see he1 wed, whom I adorze

QThe Great Messenger of Mortality; or 3. Dialogue between

 

”mmfndafiY-‘Jd’ll '... .J ’4-..:..‘ :.‘... u ..

Grant me but this and I will ask no more
DEATH.

This isa slende1 f1ivolous excuse

I have you fast and will not let you loose;

Leave he1 to P1ovidence, f01 you must go

Along with me, whether you will or no;

1, Death, command kings to leave their eiown,

And at my feet they lay their sceptres down;

If unto kings this favou1 l ne’er give

But cut them oil", can you expect to live
Beyond the limit of your time and space 9

No, I must send you to another place.

LADY.

You learned doctors now exert your sk1ll,

And let not Death of me obtain his will;

P1epa1e your cordials, let me comfort fii1d

And gold shall fly like chaff before the wind.

. w— -7~ A“ DFATH

Foibea1 to call, their skill will never do,

They are but mortals here as well as you;

I give the fatal wound my dart 1s sur,e

’Tis far beyond the doctor’s skill to cum;

Ilow freely can you let you1 riches fly,

To purchase life 1“athe1 than y eld to die,

But while you flourished 111 all your stoxe,

You would not give one penny to the poor;

Though 1n God s name their suit- to you did make

You would not give one penny for his sake,

My L01d beheld wherein you did amiss.

And calls you hence, to give account f01 this.
LADY.

O 1 I heavy news, must I no longer stay. 9

How shall I stand 111 the greatjudgment day ?

Down from he1 eyes the crystal team did flow,

She said, None knows what I. do undergo,

Upon a bed of $01 row here I lie,

VIy carnal lite makes me afraid to die.

My sins, alas !' are many, gross and foul,

Lord Jesus Chiist, have mercy on my soul,

And though I do deserve thy 1ighteous flown,

Y et pa1don, Lord, and send a blessing down,

Then with a dying sigh he1 heart did b'bieak,

And did the pleasules of this w01ld forsake,

Thus may we see the high and mighty fall,

For cruel death shews no respect at all

To any one of high or low degree;

Great men submit to death as well as w,e

Though they are gay, their lives am but a span,

A lump of clay—so vile a creature 5 man,

Then happy those whom Christ hath made his car,e

Die in the Lord, and then they blessed me

Or, Know Thyfel'i

\ VVVORTHY Squire of fober life,
Had a conceited hoal’ting wife;
Of fzz'm lhe daily made complaint,
Hmfef/lhe thought a very faint.
She lov’d to load mankind with blame,
And on their errors build her fame.
Her favourite fubjeelfol' difpute
Was Eve and the forbidden fruit.
“ Had I been Eve,” {he often cried,
“ Man had not fall’n nor woman died;
“ Iltill had kept the orders given,
“ Nor for an apple loll my heaven;
“ To gratify my curious mind,
“ lne‘er had ruin’d all mankind;
“ Nor from a vain defiretoknow,
“ Entail‘d on all my race fuch woe.”
The Squire reply'd, “ I fear ’tis true,
“ The fame ill ipirit liVes in you :
“‘4 Tempted alike, I dare believe,
“ You would haVe difribey’d like Eve.”-
The lady Round and hill deny’d '
Both curiofity and pride.
The Squire fome future day at dinner,
Relolv’d to try this boal’tful finner;
He griev‘d fuch vanity poifefi her,
And thus in ferious terms addrefs’d her.
“ Madam, the ufual fplendid feafi,
“ With which our wedding day is grae’d,
“ “Vith you I mull not {hare today,
For bulinels fummons me away.
Olall the dainties on the table,
Pray eat as long as you are able;
Indulge in every coltly dilh;
Enjoy, ’tis what I really will);
Only obferve one prohibition,
Nor think it a levere condition;
On one linall dilh which cover’d hands,
You mul't not dare to lay your hands;
Go—-—dilobey not on your life,
Or henceforth you‘re no more my wife ?”
The treat was Terv'd, the Squire was gune,
The murm’rii‘ig lady din’d alone:
She {aw wl.ate’er could grace a feall,
Or charm the eye, or pleale thetaflo.
But while {he rang‘d from this to that,
Froni ven'fon haunch to turtle fat;
On one final] difh {he chanc’d to light,
By a deep cover bid from fight.

 

 

 

 

 

“ Obi here it ism—«yet not “For me I
“ [mull not talle, nay, dare not lee.
“ ‘vVhy place it there? or why forbid "
“ That. i to much as lift the lid?
Prohibited of this to eat,
I care not for the 'urnptuous treat.
Iwonder il' 'tis fowl or filh,
To know what’s there I merely wilh.
I’ll look—O no, I loie for ever,
If’I'm betray’d 12.} hniband’s layour.
I own I think it vallly hard,
‘ Nay, tyranny, to be debarr‘d.
John you may go—-—the wine’s decanted
I’ll ring or call you when you’re wanted.”
, Now left alone, {he waits no longer,
Temptation prell‘cs more and fironger.
“ I'll pee’p-——the harm can ne'er be much,
“ For tho’ I‘peep I will not touch; - i
‘i‘ Why I'm forbid to lift this cover
“ One glance will tell, and then ’tis over.
‘ My huiband’s ab’l'ent, {o is john, 7‘
“ My peeping never can be known.” " "
Trembling, fhe yielded to her wifh,
And rai-s’d the cover from the dix'h :
She ltarts~for lo! an open pye
From which fix living lparrows fly.
She calls, {he fereams, with wild furprif‘e,
“ Hallej’ohn and catch thefe birds,” {he cries;
john hears not, but to crown her fliame,
In at her call, her huIband came. ’
Sternly he frown’d as. thus he fpoke,
“_ Thus is your vow’dallegiance broke!
‘; Self-ign’rance led you to believe
“ You did not {hare‘the fin of Eve. ,
“ Like her’s,how blelt was your condition!
“ How fmall my gentle prohibition!
“ Yet you, .tho‘ fed with every dainty,
“ Sat pining in the midi’t of plenty.
“ This dilh, thus {ingled from the relt,
"‘ Of your obedience was the tgl’t.
“ Your mind, unbroke by (elf—denial,
5‘ Coti’d not liul’tain this {lender trial.
“\thnility from hence be taught,
G L earn candour to another’s fault;
4‘ Go know, like Eve, from this Fad dinner,
“ You’re both a vain and curious firmer.”

Ho man ; lire shall ever enjoy me;
Soon as, the ll(llllfl.i of death reach mine car,

Then with a stvl'l‘fiwl'lll sigh he departed, ,

As Jamie was sailing upon the wide ocean,

With cursed gold they should strive to bt‘;t‘llllt‘,

Now for awhile ve will leave this fair maiden,
And tell how thines with her lover did {.to;

A Barbadoei; lady, whose fortune was fz'rt‘itf.

At tny return to make her my bride.
She is a cliarrnina~ youne: beautit'ul creature.

NO other creature on earth I’ll adore.
I‘learine‘ oi this she did rave in distraction,
Crying". uniortuuate maid thus to love
One that does cruelly slight all my glory,
And of my person he will not approve.

True hire, l had, is much better than grold.
.\ costly ljewel she instantly gave him,
Then in her trembling hand tool: a knife;
(Erie latal stroke heiote they could save her,
Quickly did put an t‘lltl to her lil'e.

The cruel boatswain the same did complete.
As they on the deck were, lovingly walking",
He suddenly tumbled him into the deep.

Darlaston Wake Bull-baiting,

Ofall the diversions in life,
There is one among the rest,

It exceeds all others for fun.
Was allowed to be the best,

All those who delight in a bull,
To see it will go many a mile,
If you go to Darlaston Wake,
You shall see it in the highest style.

Old Mockist a bull did provide,
And one ofa rare good sort,
He bOught him at Tipton-green,
And there he made rare good sport;
For they were all pleas’d to the heart,
And swore at a terrible rate,
To think they were indulg’d with abull,
To accompany Darlaston' Wake.
A lane, a lane was then cried,
For a dog was going to run,
When Wats he slapt at his nose,
And so the sport begun.

The bull how he caper'd andjump’d,
Old Wats to spread his fame,

I’ll swear says VVillenhall Dick,
That this is a rare good game.

To collar him, staight he went,
And brought him to the stake,

They drank success to the bull,
And so began the wake.

Tom Biddle he roars out amain,
“'1 may speak my mind,
There shall but one run at a time,

And so it will give the bull wind.'

A lane again it was cried,
For Fuster’s Smut to run,

The hull broke her back the first put,
And for it he made a sad moan.

They tapt Wats on the back,
And Foster was vex’d at the stake,
I wish to my soul, then he cries,
That 1 was a dog for thy sake,
A lane then again was cried,
To run old Rusty ’3 Ball.
The brother to Foster’s Smut,
And the best amongst them all.

And when the bitch was big

With Smut, and Ball, by Spring,
And when that she did pup,

They set the bells to ring.
A lane once more was crie ,

‘ t 'For Ball was going to run,

He pin’d him so fast by the groin;
Which caused them rare good fun,

For he held him there so fast,
Which made the bull to roar,

I’ll be hamper’d says Darlaston Tom,
If the like we e’er see any more.

Then Harper’s bitCh was brought up,
The best in all the town,

She went by the name of Rose,
By running for many a crown.

She made a rare put at his nose,
But it proved all in vain,

The hull made a rare put at the folks
And so ran down the green.

They brought him back again,
And tied him to the stake,
For old Robin Towser to run,
That came a long way to the wake.

They ran the two dogs at a time,
Which made the colliers to loot',

There was about forty brave fellows,
Wacking away their buff.

The hull they lock’d in the stable,
The matter to settle then,

And there was a straight young lad,
That challenged every man.

He found himselfquite big with fight,
And challenged the company round,
So Biddle the cndgels took up,
And fought him for a crown.

The ring was made with speed,
The fight it then begun,
Shiddle Biddle’s sidesman would be,
Because she lov’d the'fun.
I’ll challenge the man, said she,
tho calls Biddle a son ofa whore,
And if thou dost not beat him, and sdon
Thou never shall fight any more.
Longner, the King of the Ruffians,
Stept in like a lad of good mettle,
Gave Shiddle a dinge on the cheek,
Says th bellowing soon shall be settled
Then rummery, vex'd to the heart,
Gave Lognor a terrible dig,
Then Longer he down'd with him,__.
And kicked in three of his ribs.
The fight it now being over,
And Biddle he bore the sway,
Then straigh‘ to the tavern they went,
In mirth for to spend the day.
The beef they knock’d in them apace,
And liquor they drank amain,

’ And when they’d wellstufi"d their guts

They had the bull out again.
