		18. Such short gowns as these Such short Gowns as these, are much used in France;/ And the Men, and the Women cut capers and dance./ The Ladys they Paint, and their backsides they show,/ The Men hop, and skip, and each one is a Beau/ Would you see men like monkeys; to France you must go. Dimensions: 12.3 x 15.8 cm view item(s)
		[19] This girl to get money does dance This Girl to get money does dance on a Rope/ She will sure have good luck if her neck is not broke/ Quite hard is her fortune, her fate most unkind/ If no way for a living but this she can find. Dimensions: 12.2 x 14.8 cm view item(s)
