Contents
'Tis woman that seduces all mankind
If love the virgin's heart invade
Virgins are like the fair flower
I, like a ship in storms, was tossed
A fox may steal your hens, Sir
The miser thus a shilling sees
If the heart of a man is depressed with cares
Man may escape from rope and gun
Thus when a good housewife sees a rat/How cruel are the traytors
Why how now, Madam Flirt!
When young at the bar/Ungrateful Macheath!
Thus gamesters united in friendship
I'm like a skiff on the ocean tossed
O cruel, cruel case!
