ONce did I love a bonny bonny Bird, thinking that he had been my own: But he lov'd another far better than I, and he has taken his flight and is flown, brave boys, and he has taken his flight, and is flown. Up the green Forrest, and down the green Forrest, like one much distressed in mind; I hoopt and I hoopt; and I flung up my Hood, but my bonny bird I could not find, brave boys, but my bonny Bird, etc. But she that hath gotten my bonny bonny Bird, would the devil had had her for me; It was not a Crown nor a Noble so round, that should have bought my bonny Bird from me, brave boys, that should have, etc. He set me upon his dissembling knee, and looked me all in the face, He gave unto me and a Judas Kiss, but his heart was in another place, brave boys, but his heart, etc. She that hath gotten my bonny bonny Bird, let her make as much on't as she can; For whether I have him, or I have him not, I will quaff with him now and then, brave boys, I will quaff, etc.
He told me he lov'd me far better than all the richest Temptations i'th World; Then treasure or Money, he call'd me his Honey, but now from his heart I am hurl'd, brave boys, but now, etc. He could not indure to be out of my sight, he lov'd me like Silver or Gold; His blood was on fire, with the flames of desire, but I find his hot love was soon cold, brave boys, but I find, etc. His tongue was so tipt with temptations, that I could have suffer'd him (without controul) To have done what he wou'd, and have humor'd his blood, had the venture been body and soul, brave boys, had the venture, etc. And now he requites me with scorn and disdain, some other hath gotten him from me; But let her take heed, at last how she speed, least a third do prove better then she, brave boys, least a third, etc. One Man for one Maid, the Creator hath made, he that hath more, hath more then his due; Sure [t]wo is too many, he'l never love any, for twenty Maids will be too few, brave boys, for twenty, etc. Those Virgins that take him I think are stark mad, for he that proves false unto one, That lov'd him as life, will be false to his Wife, I have cause to be glad that he's gone, brave boys, I have cause, etc. The Witchcraft of Love; is enough to undo the hearts of poor credulous Creatures; My freedom to me, is far sweeter than he, for freedom is softer then Fetters, brave boys, for freedom is, etc.
If he had continud'd he might a had all, his carriage and wit was so brave; Although he had like to have given me a fall, yet the jewel of jewels I have, brave boys, yet the jewel, etc. Which still I will keep from such Gamesters as he, by such I will ne'r be betray'd; My Portion shall be, my Virginity, 'tis Dowry enough for a Maid, brave boys, 'tis Dowry, etc. I'le swagger and rant, and i'le ne'r think upon't, but bring Willow Garlands in fashion; Although for my part, my own merry heart, shall turn Willow into Carnation, brave boys, shall go, etc. I vow to be jolly, brisk, bonny and free, and march under Chastities Banners; I'le sing, and i'le dance, and my spirits advance, in spight of all Cupids Trappaners, brave boys, in spight, etc. When he comes disfigur'd and crippl'd from War, i'le jeer him, and laugh him to scorn; His Wife too will scoff, when he comes lamely off, and give him a Night-cap of Horn, brave boys, and give, etc. All you that are Virgins, and live at your wills, be wise and take warning by me; Ne'r venture your hearts, to a tongue and good parts, if the Man have no Fidelity, brave boys, if the man, etc. It is better to live in a Virgins degree, then Marry a false-hearted Mate; Their cunning shall ne'r, take me in their snare, the Devil shall catch him for Kate, brave boys, the Devil shall catch him for Kate.
