YOu that a fair Maids heart would obtain, eagerly Court, and Ogle and Kiss; Whining and Sighs are all but in vain, Courage does lead the way unto Bliss: Touse her, tempt her, hap at a venture, tho' she cry, Fie Sir, pray you be gone; Do but you try Sir, she'll sooner dye Sir, than you shall leave her wishing alone.
Win her with Fairings and sweetening Treats, Lasses are soonest o'recome this way; Ribbons and Rings will work most strange feats, and bring you into favour and play: Touse her, tempt her, hap at a venture, tho' she cry, Fie Sir, pray you be gone; Do but you try Sir, she'll not deny Sir, any thing when you have her alone.
WAlk with her out into the Fields; merrily give her a Grass-green Gown; Tickle her Fancy until she yields, else she'll esteem you a Cowardly Clown: Touse her, tempt her, hap at a venture, tho' she cry, Fie Sir, pray you be gone; Do but you try Sir, she'll not deny Sir, any thing now you have her alone. Kiss her and play with her Snow-white Breastes, tell her a thousand wanton new Tales; Such pritty sport no Maiden molests, for she knows well what her Lover ails: Touse her, tempt her, hap at a venture, tho' she cry, Fie Sir, pray you be gone; Do but you try Sir, she'll not deny Sir, any thing now you have her alone. Tickle her Knees, and something that's high'r, kissing and feeling go hand in hand; No Flesh and Blood but what will take fire, tho' she may seem at first to withstand: Touse her, tempt her, hap at a venture, tho' she cry, Fie Sir, pray you be gone; Further you try Sir, she'll not deny Sir, any thing now you have her alone. When the Dueworks they fairly are won, enter the Fort, it now is your own; Plunder and Storm it from Sun to Sun, Revel and Sport until weary grown: Fie Sir, why Sir, I'll sooner dye Sir, now are exchanged for another Tone, Blushing and Smiling, and wantonly Toyling, are the soft Language of Lovers alone.
