A New SONG : OR , The Old Womans Wish . To the Tune of the Old Mans Wish . . I SInce Beauty now fails And I find I decay , Let this be my Wish ; In a Chimney not gay , May I have a warme corner And a Bench that 's compleat And a cleanly young Wench To sweep the Hearth neat . May I govern the Young By my wholesome advice ; And as older , grow nearer To be Stil'd prophetess ; Without pride , yet my name Than the Sibills not less II. In a Garden that 's furnish'd With herbs for the Still , And a bed of choice Sallets , Which I weed at my will ; With a spacious Meade , And a delicate Cow And an Arbour to set And heare Colly to low . May I govern the Young &c. III. With a boild Chick on Sunday , And a Dumpling that 's soft , And a full teeming Jug , With a motto that Oft May have puzzled the learnd , By the Old Sages writ ; Which in Letters of blew , Is stain'd round about it . May I govern the Young &c. IV. With a Book of Feat tales , And pleasant Old Story 's And riddles by Saxons made Long lived before us : With a dish of Minc'd Meat , Or Pigs Pettitoes ; No gristles nor Brawn , To give dangerous blows . May I govern the Young &c. V. With a Conscience untainted , May I pass my last day , And when I am gon , May the good Women say In the Morning at mattens , In the E'en at her Ale , She 's gon , and he 's happy Can tell out her tale : For she govern'd the Young By her wholesome advice ; And as older grew nearer , To be stil'd prophetess ; Without pride , yet her name Then the Sibils not less .
