A Catch on Midnight Cats:
- I: Ye Cats that at midnight spit Love at each other
- who best feel the tattered Fur
- if the business of Love be no more to Pur.
- II: Old Lady Grimalkin with Gooseberry Eyes,
- when a Kitten knew Love fit's soon o'er,
- Pus, Pus last not long but turns to Catwhore.
- III: Men ride many miles, Cats tread many Tiles,
- both hazard, both House or a Wall keep their Feet,
- mount their Tails, mount their Tails and away.
A Cat Catch by R. Brown:
- I: We Cats when assembled at Midnight together,
- for innocent Puring, Puring, for innocent Puring,
- puring, in Moonshiney weather.
- II: If Dogs be in kennel, all fast in their straw,
- we march, and we meaw, meaw, meaw
- whitout scratch or a claw.
- III: But if they suprise us, and put us to flight,
- we fret, fret, and we spit, fret fret, spit, spit,
- give a squall, squall and good.
