The Beggar's Opera - John Gay

Through All Employments Of Life

'Tis Woman That Seduces All Mankind

If Any Wench Venus's Girdle Wear

If Love The Virgin's Heart Invade

A Maid Is Like The Golden War

Virgins Are Like The Fair Flower In It's Lustre

Our Polly Is A Sad Slut! Nor Heeds What We Have Taught Her

Can Love Be Controul'd By Advice

O Polly, You Might Have Toy' And Kist

I Like A Ship In Storms, Was Tost

A Fox May Steel Your Hens, Sir

Oh, Ponder Well! Be Not Severe

The Turtle Thus Plaintive Crying

Pretty Polly, Say

My Heart Was So Free

Were I Laid On Greenland's Coast

O What Pain It Is To Part

The Miser Thus A Shilling Sees

Fill Ev'ry Glass, For Wine Inspires Us

Let Us Take The Road

If The Heart Of A Man Is Deprest With Cares

Youth's The Season Made For Joys

Before The Barn-Door Crowing

The Gamesters And Lawyer Are Jugglers Alike

At The Tree I Shall Suffer With Pleasure

Man May Escape From Rope And Gun

Thus When A Good Huswife Sees A Rat

How Cruel Are The Traytors

The First Time At The Looking-Glass

When You Censure The Age

Is Then His Fate Decreed, Sir?

You'll Think, E'er Many Days Ensue

If You At An Office Solite Your Due

Thus When The Swallo, Seeking Prey

How Happy Could I Be With Her

I'm Bubbled

Cease Your Funning

Why How Now, Madam Flirt

No Power On Earth Can E'er Divide

I Like The Fox Shall Grieve

When Young At The Bar You First Taught Me To Score

My Love Is All Madness And Folly

The Gamesters United In Friendship Are Found

The Modes Of The Court So Common Are Grown

What Gudgeons Are We Men!

In The Day Of My Youth I Could Bill Like A Dove

I'm Like A Skiff On The Ocean Tost

When A Wife In Her Pout

A Curse Attends That Woman's Love

Among The Men, Coquets We Find

Come Sweet Lass

Hither, Dear Husband, Turn Your Eyes

Which Way Shall I Turn Me - How Can I Decide?

When My Hero In Court Appears

When He Hold Up His Hands Arraign'd For His Life

Our Selves, Like The Great, To Secure A Retreat

The Charge Is Prepar'd; The Lawyers Are Met

O Cruel, Cruel Cruel Case

Of All The Friend In Time Of Grief

Since I Must Swing

But Know Again My Spirits Sink

But Valour The Strong Grows

If Thus - A Man Can Die

So I Drink Off This Bumper

But Can I Leave My Pretty Hussies

Their Eyes, Their Lips, Their Busses

Since Laws Were Made For Ev'ry Degree

Would I Might Be Hang'd

Thus I Stand Lke The Turk, With His Doxies Around
