I'm in Love says Noll, Indeed says Doll; but prethee say with who, I fear says he; come speak says she, why then it is with you: you Jest says Doll, Good faith says Noll, you do me wrong my Dolley, but men says she, to flattery be too much addicted Nolley.
I vow says Noll, I Love thee Doll, but pray sir tell me where, at my heart say he, at your heart says she and do you Love me there. Tis true says Noll, But you say Doll, do Love another better; who is't says he, why Nan says she, you t'other day did treat her.
Fy, fy! says Noll, Why why? says Doll, why Nan did come to me, and prais'd me right, that very Night, to her Sweet-heart Humphery What then? says Doll, why then says Noll, I Gave her a pint of wine Doll, what else? says she, why Cakes, says he, and yet no Miss of mine Doll. But yet says Doll, My father Noll, does say you are poor of late; how! poor says he, yes poor says she, and must not be my mate, I have says Noll, What hast says Doll, why I have house and Land Doll, where is't says she, why 'tis says he, at the Lower end o't'h Strand Doll. What goods, says Doll, All sorts says Noll, that in a house are common, indeed says she, and fit says he for any honest woman, How! how! says Doll, Good faith says Noll, 'tis true, and they'r my own, and a feather bed, with Curtains Red, for thee and I to lye on.
Then 'tis says Doll, A Match says Noll, let Father and Mother chide, 'its done says he, 'tis done says she, and I will be thy Bride; Let's Kiss says Noll, Content says Doll, and ther's another for ye, when Wed we? says he, to Morrow, says she, we will no Longer Tarry. Come, then says Noll, Wee'l go my Doll and see the House before, and then says he, what then says she, thoul't find I am not poor. Agreed says Doll, And when? says Noll, to Morrow we are Wedded: thy Parents shall, and Kindred all, then come and see us beded. And then says Noll, What then? says Doll i'le make of thee a Mother, what Else? says Doll why Love says Noll for ever one another; The Lasses all, Both great and small, shall Envy what we do, while thou and I, loves force to try, and prove for ever true
