HEre's a pleasant Ditty I'll Sing you, if you please, 'Tis of a Paesbyterian that dealt in Rotten Cheese, Nay, and Female Flesh to boot, Oh! He sweetly would Salute The Girls at pleasaure, out of measure; and without Dispute, He would make sure of each Maiden-Head, Sometimes whilst his sweet Wife she was sleeping in her Bed; He fairly Laid them down, in Silk or Russet Gown, A loving Brother, such another scarce is in the Town. Friends this Presbyterian was alwaies so Devout, That he Obtain'd his end, when the same he went about; Having such a Cunning way, that they could not say him nay, For as he Enter'd, soon they Ventur'd for to Sport and Play:
Until their Aprons grew short before And thus it seems he serv'd about Ten or Twelve or more, For faith he'd lay them down, in Silk for Russet Gown, A loving Brother, such another scarce is in the Town. If a Youthful Damsel, once came to live with him, Before a Month was ended, he'd Stroak her Limb by Limb; Tho' she cry'd out Fye for Shame, Master Master O my Dame! 'Tis all a case Sir, he'd Embrace her and pursue the Game: Till he had Cropt the Dear Virgin Rose, It pleas'd the Pritty Girls loving Friends we may Suppose, For faith he'd lay them down, in Silk or Russet Gown, A loving Brother, such another scarce is in the Town.
Thus with Pretty Lasses he Lavisht all his Store, And had not Pleas'd his Wife for a year or two or more; Neither morning noon nor night, could she have the least delight This truly Vext her and Perplext her, very well it might: Because she could not enjoy a Crumb, For when to Bed he came straight to her he turn'd his BUM, And would not lay her down, this made the Woman Frown, A Wicked Brother, such another scarce is in the Town. Oh this Non-performance did persecute her mind, Poor Creature she was troubled that he was so unkind; Being full of discontent to a Cunning Man she went, To know the reason such a season should her joys prevent, The Cunning Man made her this Reply, A Charm lyes in his Breeches which does your joys deny; Oh! Break the Charms she cry'd you shall be satisfy'd This Guinea take it, if you break it, twenty more beside. Mistress never doubt it I'll break the Cunning Charm, I thank ye, yet be careful you do his things no harm, No I wont upon my life as you a're a Married Wife, You need not fear me all that's near me knows my skill is rife Home she returned yet ne'retheless; Her Presbyterian Husband the Damsels did carress, He fairly laid them down in Silk or Russet Gown, etc. While he us'd this Practice when ever he discern'd, Their Bellies grow incepit, he gave them what they'd earn'd And a Crown or two beside, if they would be satisfy'd, But this Disaster of the Master Nancy would not hide, But made him keep her the Lying-in, And take her Child to boot oh, this made a horrid Din, The Wife began to frown and cust him up and down, etc. From the very Pulpit the Honest Preacher he, Gave him a sharp Reproof for his gross Debauchery; Nay before the Bretheren he declar d it was a sin, Yet being tardy he was hardy thus thro' thick and thin, He was resolved henceforth to run, And ne're the least Repented the deed which he had done, But fairly laid them down in Silk and Russet Gown, etc. Quoth his Wife now I find the Charm that kept him back, From yielding me the Pleasure that I so long did lack, I might well be served so when he did to others go, It is a pitty one that's pritty should be kept so low, Yet if he does not pay this old score, I'll fit him for his fancy, but Mum for that no more; I'd make him lay me down or else on him I'll frown, A wicked Brother, such another scarce is in the Town.
