A song and it's tune. Not much of a drinking song, or any other
kind of song for that matter.
Our Girls, like our Geese, shou'd be watch'd from the Vermin;
That Geese are like Girls then, with Ease we determine;
Geese will gaggle, and wander astray on the Common;
And gaggle will wander astray will a Woman: [corrupt line]
A Goose will sit quiet under Barriers and Locks;
But the Goose of a Woman breaks thro' to the Fox.
