HEard you not of Bellswager of old, famous for kissing Girls in the dark, Here is, good People, as I am told, just such another delicate Spark, He runs at all, both great and small, especially those that are neat and trim; He follow'd the pleasure of Love out of measure, till Therty Young Girls were with Child by him. He was a brawny delicate Lad, one that was full of Love and Good will, And if there was a Girl to be had, he would ont fail to top with her still; A Coachman he, was known to be, neor Barnet, and there did in pleasures swim; The Girls they did love him, and priz'd none above him, till Therty of them, etc.
Oh! when he cuddel'd them in his Arms, and their Snowy Bubbies he kist, Speaking of Love's most innocent Charms, they had not strength, poor Girls, to resist, But yielded strait, young Joan, and Kate, in these sweet pleasures of Love they'd swim; They all did admire what he did require, till Thirty of them, etc. Some he would promise fairly to wed, others he'd tempt with Bodkins of Plate, There would be scarce a good Maiden-Head. but he would strive to purchase it strat; All Barnet-Town, and up and down, the Lasses accounted him neat and trim: In pleasare they sported, as is is reported, tell Thirty of them, etc.
When the hot Fame of Fancy did b[urn;] he had no need to suffer the smart. Every one of these in her turn, pleasur'd him still according to art, Sweet Mistress Prue, or pretty Sue, and many young Lasses both neat and trim; His Chamber they enter'd, poor Creatures they venter'd; till thirty of them were with Child by him. As I am told, young Mistress Joan thought she had had him all to herself, So did each other, till it was known that he was such a slippery Olf; The Damsels now, protest and vow, they'll tear this poor Choachman limb from limb, They're all in a passion and cruel vexation, b'cause thirty of them were with Child by him. Then the poor Girls began to consult, what with this Spark was best to be done, Susan she said, He ought to be gelt, or else the World he'd soon over-run, No, no, quoth Nan, What spoil a Man I'll never yield to it, he's sweet and trim; How could you abuse him; I'll free excusim though seven times more were with Child by him Should we resolve to punish him thus, and to cut off such jewels of pride, Would not the World cry out against us; Susan, I pray, take better advice; In such a case, let Law take place, I am not for pulling him limb from limb, Nor am I so cruel to spoil such a jewel, though seven times more, etc. Now while their Plot they study'd to lay, Bridget and Joan in Labour did fall, Five or six more the very nevt day, nay, and the rest are ready to call; A fair young Breed he has indeed, of pretty young Bantlings sweet and trim Now each loving Mother, above any other they have a great kindness and love for him.
