Dame Floyd looks out in great Suspense But wifely cautious of her Pence, Quoth Herries, fairly putting Cafes, If I had but a Pair of Aces, The Earl of Berkeley. But But Wefton has a new-caft Gown "With these is Parfon Swift, "Not knowing how to spend his Time, "Does make a wretched Shift, "To deafen 'em with Puns and Rhime." Lady Betty Berkeley finding this Ballad in the Author's Room unfinished, fhe underwrit the laft Stanza, and left the Paper where she had found it; which occafioned the Song, that the Author wrote in a counterfeit Hand, as if a third Perfon had done it, to the Tune of the Cut-purse.
