There lived a man in
Baleno, crazy, who wanted a wife to make him uneasy;
Long had he sigh'd for dear Ally Croaker, & thus the gentle youth
he bespoke her:
Will you marry me dear Ally Croaker, will you marry me dear Ally
<Ally> Croaker.
>>Will you marry me dear Ally Croaker, will you marry me dear
Ally Croaker.<<
==
This artless young man just come from the schoolary,
A novice in love, and all its follary;
Too dull for a wit, too grave for a joker;
And thus the gentle youth bespoke her:
Will you marry me, dear Ally Croaker,
Will you marry me, dear Ally <Ally> Croaker
==
He drank with the father, he talk'd with the Mother,
He romped with the sister, he gamed with the Brother;
He gam'd till he pawn'd his coat to the Broker,
Which lost him the heart of his Dear Ally Croaker.
Oh! The fickle Ally Croaker
Oh! The fickle Ally Ally Croaker
==
To all you young men who are fond of gaming,
Who are spending your money whilst other are saving
Fortue's [[Fortune's]]a jilt, the de'il [[devil]] may choke her,
A jilt more inconstant than Dear Ally Croaker;
Oh! The inconsistent Ally Croaker,
Oh! The inconsistent Ally Ally Croaker
