Fair Kitty

Fair Kitty, beautiful and young, And wild as colt untam'd, Bespoke the fair from whence she sprung, With little rage inflam'd; Infirm'd with rage and sad restrain; Which wise mama ordain'd, And sorely vex'd to play the saint, While wit and beauty reign'd, While wit and beauty reign'd And sorely vex'd to play the saint, While wit and beauty reign'd.

Must lady Jenny frisk about, And visst with her cousins? At balls she must make all the rout, And bring home hearts by dozens. What has she better, pray, than I, What hidden charms to boast, That all mankind for her should die, While I am scarce a toast? While I am scarce a toast? That all mankind for her should die, While I am scarce a toast.

Dear, dear mama for once let me, Unchain'd my fortune try; I'll have my earl as well as she, Or know the reason why. Fond love prevail'd, mama gave way; Kitty has heart's desire, Obtain'd the charriot for a day, And set the world on fire, Obtain'd the charriot for a day, And set the world on fire.
