_Thus I stand like the_ Turk, _with his Doxies around_;
_From all Sides their Glances his Passion confound_;
_For Black_, _Brown_, _and Fair_, _his Inconstancy burns_,
_And the different Beauties subdue him by turns_:
_Each calls forth her Charms to provoke his Desires_:
_Though willing to all_, _with but one he retires_.
_But think of this Maxim_, _and put off your Sorrow_,
_The Wretch of To-day_, _may be happy To-morrow_.
Chorus. _But think of this Maxim_, &c.
