C Ome brave Young-men lend an ear, Hear is my art of Courting rare; I am a Gallant belongs to the trade, To Kiss and Court a pritty Maid: When under her Apron I do peep, My mind doth wander and doth creep To be Courting, and Sporting, Like Hero and Leander .
When I first into England came, I thought Courting was a pritty Game; And it much Delighted me, To dance a Lady on my Knee: But now good Sir, I need Court none, For first comes Betty , and then comes Jone ; With a tread on my toe, she answers so, Then to the Tavern walk we.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The Second Part, To the same Tune.</hi> </seg>
I N the Tavern we have Wine good store, We sing and Drink, and likewise Roar; Run Drawer, run, then we do cry, There's none leads so merry a life as I: For hear we sit from morning till night, And spend our time in rare Delight: In Closets warm we catch no harm, In time of all our Sporting: When night comes on, away I'm gone, And leaves the Reckoning to pay, alone: So I do serve them day by day, I scorn a Farthing for to pay. These Girls to me are all alike, For if I see Gold to be sure I'le strike: But if they have none, away I am gone, my Company's not for them. In London I have Girls good store, And likewise all the Country o're, For rare Delights in every part, Able to Captivate a Souliers heart:
He would be glad to lose the Field, To see the rare Delights they yield: With a Rampo, I please them so, They Sing and Dance Couragio. Sometimes my Girls will come Aboard; With Cakes and Bottels of wine well stor'd, Then down we sit upon the dack, We break their Cakes and drink their Sack; And when we have done we walk below, Where Amorous Sport to my Girls I show: With a Rampo I please her so, She Laughs out-right Couragio. So I Court Mary , Betty , Jone , For I am resolv'd to marry with none; For if they ask me for to marry, I whisper Jone and bids her tarry: And straight I unto Betty hye, And puts her off with some new Reply; So farily and warily, I shake her off most rarely. This is the rare Delight of mine, I eat good Cakes, and Drink good Wine: My Girls will give me Gold good store, To buy New Cloaths when mine are tore: I nothing for my House-Rent pay, For with my Girls I am every day, In Closets warm, we catch no harm, In time of all our Sporting. Thus you see how bravely I live, I always take and nothing give, Yet still I am both fine and brave, And what I want I always have: For if I do but say the Word, They know I must not be withstood: 'Tis my Delight both day and night, To be trading with young Wenches.
