Though I each day well dress my leather, I often wish we were together; For you alone have gain’d my heart, And stripp’d my _skin_ of ev’ry art. In vain I _colour_, _shave_, and _cut_, You to my _tramp_ have surely put. My _wax_ is hard, my _paste_ is spoil’d, You my _good souls_ have all beguil’d. O then, _sweetheart_, to me incline, And bless your constant Valentine. THE ANSWER. You _cutter-up_ of many _souls_, And cause of divers _ends_ and _holes_; You _mixer_, _dauber_, pray be quiet, Nor in my heart kick up a riot; Be not in haste, good master Leather, And we mayhap may come together. Therefore, in hope, believe I’m thine, As you prove true, good Valentine. TO A LADY. My dear, with this I blow a kiss, As earnest of our future bliss; I have not time to tell you more, But you alone I do adore. THE ANSWER. Yours I receiv’d, and if ’tis bliss, With this take back a loving kiss. A faithful heart who can refuse, An honest hand who would not choose. I accept both, and vow I’m thine, Your constant loving Valentine. FINIS. _Printed by Thomas Richardson, Derby._ A LIST OF BOOKS PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY THOMAS RICHARDSON, DERBY.
