B Y a Brook beneath a shade, one Eveing in hott weather, There I say a Pritty Maid was going for to bath her, She sat Gazing on the stream, and thought no person did espy her, She sweetly sang, but did not dream, that I lay hid so nigh her.
She pluckt off her rich attire, and on the bank she threw it, My poor heart was set on fire, with lying close to view it, She expos'd her Golden hair; which Gentle Breaths od Air Saluted, No Nimph could have lookt so fair, or with her Charms disputed.
She undrest unto her Smock, and put her foot i'th' water, At first 'twas cold, she drew it back, but put in both soon after, Then she pluckt off Smock and all, and show'd her tender Tempting Belly, Her pretty hand so white and small, hid what I dare not tell ye. In she ran with eager hast, least some might her discover, And stood in above her Wast, and washt her self all over, Her snowy Breast so round and fair, was such a powerful temptation, Nothing could with her compare, e're since the Worlds Creation. I no longer could forbear, or such restraint endure, But undrest as quick as Air, and in I leapt unto her, She cry'd out, and flounc'd about, but I her Tender wast surrounded, In my Arms I brought her out, for fear she should be drownded.
I her snowey limbs embrac't, she Cry'd Good Sir my honour, I swore I the Joys would Tast, and down I fell upon her, Ne'r was Man so highly blest, with such a fair and Charming Creature; I lay panting on her breast, admiring every feature. She like to the Sun Arose, in any Summers Morning, Blushing she put on her Cloaths, who wanted no adorning, She betwixt a smile and frown, not vext, nor pleas'd, at my embraces, Modestly put on her Gown, and hid her Charming graces. Now Good Sir, I pray, said she, lets Joyn our hearts together, In bonds of all felicity, that nothing can dissever, I replied, with all my heart, such lasting Joys were worth possessing, Here's my hand, we'll never part, but Cherish such a Blessing.
