YOung Men and Maids come listen a while in Country and in Town, Come listen a while, and you shall hear the fall of my Renown: Once I was a Virgin most fair, as it full well is known, I went so Gay, you all may say, so long as I kept my own.
At Weddings and at Banquetings, I was the chiefest Guest, Young Men to give the to give me Gloves and Rings, did take it as a Grace: To Dance before Young Men and Maids, my Anguish it was shown, Till a Man by chance, took me to Dance, and cozen'd me of my own.
But mark what follows after this, for still 'tis worse and worse; For e're nine Months are gone and past, I now must be a Nurse: I could no longer hide my shame, my Belly so big is grown, And my Apron so short, true's the report, good lack! how I lost my own. My Mother came down so full of spight, get you out you Rake, be gone, Dost thou think we will harbour thee, so long as you lost your own: I vow'd I swear, I loved him dear, the like was never known, Thus in the Barn, and upon the Corn, when first that I lost my own. Daughter. Good Mother, be not in a Rage, I vow I ne'r once thought That he would prove so sly a Spark, but Wit's ne'r good till bought: Quoth he to me, come let us Dance the best Jigg e're was known; And I, like a Fool, did follow his Rule, and thus 'twas I lost my own. Mother. Ah! truly, you have Danc'd it fair, go fetch that Slave, that Viper, I'll warrant you he's tript away, and you must pay the Piper:
Find the Spark, or I'll make such a Row shall make you tremble and quake. I'll see you Dance, Caper and Prance, after another-guess rate. Daughter. Be but appeas'd, I've thought on a way, then vex your self no more, The Child in a Basket I will lay, at some Rich Batchelors door. No Daughter, said she, this will not do, when you lye in, Forsooth, Where's the Father? then you'll rather dye than tell the truth. Just now there's something comes in my head which will do best of all, Don't you remember your Sweet-heart Ned, you may have him at a Call: Wheedle him on, before too far gone, come then, I'll help to dispatch; With joint consent, away they both went, and soon did make up the Match. Now the Feud at an end, the Child a Dad has got, And e're two Months are gone and past, I fear he'll smell the Plot: But if he does, I can but think, what a Hellish Rout he'll make, For all his Damning, Cursing and Raming, will ne'r make amends, 'tis too late.
FINIS.
