Begotten, and Born, and dying
with Noise,
The Terror of Women, and Pleasure
of Boys,
Like the Fiction of Poets concerning
the Wind,
I'm chiefly unruly, when strongest
confin'd.
For Silver and Gold I don't
trouble my Head,
But all I delight in is Pieces
of Lead;
Except when I trade with a Ship
or a Town,
Why then I make pieces of Iron
go down.
One Property more I would have
you remark,
No Lady was ever more fond of
a Spark;
The Moment I get one my Soul's
all a-fire,
And I roar out my Joy, and in
Transport expire.
