Transcription	The Cursed Day Enquire this day who wil or may I'll save your question, it is Saturday. Imagine Friday night in beauties arms At rest in full possesion of her charms, Passing in rapture the delicious night Hearing nor seeing butfrom Cupid's light But mark the change: the morning scarce appears You wake to noises and of fears The clattering pronounce Bailiffs there Or perhans the devil for she is everywhere. John, Thormas, Henry, William all at work The mistress on that day must be grand Turk.
