A Proper hansome young man, that dwelt in London Citie, Did woo a pretty Damsell, who was for him too witty: The youngman he had wealth good store, the Lasse was poore, though bonny, She pleas'd his minde, with speeches kinde, and all was for his money. A simple silly Coxcombe, he shew'd himselfe to be: All which the crafty Damsell, did well perceive and see; She pleased still his humour well, with words as sweet as honey, She shew'd him still, most kind good will, to make him spend his money. He was with love inchanted, and led into such folly, He never would be merry, but with his pretty Molly . To whom when he was come, she still would welcome say, sweet honey: Which words in mind, he tooke so kinde, he car'd not for his money. She colled him, she clipt him, she did his corpes imbrace: And said her onely pleasure, was viewing his sweet face. She told him that his breath and lips, more sweeter were then honey, Yet her mind ran, not on the man, so much, as on his money.
And at their merry meetings, the youth would send for wine, And many pleasant Junkets, for them to sup and dine: As Lambe, and Veale, and Mutton store, with Chickens, Larkes, and Coney. Thus with her wiles, and tempting smiles, she made him spend his money. He gave her Gownes and Kirtles, and many costly things, As Girdles, Gloves, and Stockings, fine Bracelets, and gold Rings. For which he ne'r had naught from her, but Thanks mine owne sweet honey, A kisse or twaine was all his gaine, for all his cost and money. And if he ere did offer, to doe the thing you wot, When they two were in private, to him she yeelded not. She told him 'twas unlawfull, I prethee sweet and honey, Urge me not too't, for Ile not doo't, intreth for any money. Now what should be the reason thinke you, she was so coy? It was because another man her fancy did injoy, And none but he alone, she swore, should have this Wench so bonney, Yet this fond Asse, so simple was, to foole away his money

A Lthough she had another, whom she had vow'd to marry, Yet to this silly woodcocke, her selfe she still did carry, As though she had intent at last, to make him her sweet honey, Yet all her drift, was by this shift, to get good cloathes and mony. And when she was supplied, with all that she did lacke, And he had put brave raiment, all new upon her backe, Him carelesly she slighted then, her heart to him was stony, She grew so proud, she scarce alow'd a smile for all his money. So getting up one morning, she could no longer tarry, But sending for her other Love, with him she straight did marry. Now had she what she look't for, and so farewell my Tommy , My wedding Ring, and every thing though boughtst me with thy mony. Thus in deriding manner, at him she laught and fleer'd, Which vexed sore the Youngman, when to his shame he heard, How he was for his kindnesse showne, accounted simple Tommy , And had disgrace, in every place, for spending of his money.
He durst not walke for's pleasure, among other youngmen, But he was sure to heare on't, before he came agen. And one would play with t'other in sport, with words as sweet as honey, To act the part of his sweet heart, who made him spend his money. This did so vexe and grieve him, he vow'd to be revenged, Quoth he, my Gowne and Kirtle, ere long Ile have new fring'd, Take heed, you subtill Queane, quoth he, for if I light upon yee, Ile make you rue, that ere you knew one penny of my money. These words the Damsell heard on, and being alwayes cunning, She spide him as he walkt i'th street, and to him she came running. She call'd him Rogue and Rascall base, you slave quoth she, Ile stone yee; And you Clowne, Ile cracke your crowne, a pox of you and your money. Thus with her scolding speeches, his voyce she overcame, He seeing of no remedy, did let it rest for shame. Let every honest youngman then, example take by Tommy , Lest they repent, when they have spent, upon a Wench their money.
