I Am a maid of Flushing, and I have a Pincushing Although my Cloaths are bare There came a Cook Ruffin, And he said it wanted Stuffing, And fain he would have stuck a Pin, there, there, there. This Pincushing a Witch is and breaks through leather Breeches And breaks through our buttons of brass in vain they stand as Centry To guard Dame Natures Entry, For Pincushing maketh Man, an Asse, an Asse, an Asse.
The Miser chat thinks Money much sweeter then the Honey Saies (look) what I have for thee here) to see if I can (win ye) I bring a lovely Guinea. Then hold up thy Pincushing my Dear, my Dear my Dear. The People in the Tower stick forty in an Hour Upon an old Pincushing there for Pence a piece the Rabble-Rout May stick 'em in and take 'em out. For Codpeice does never cry, forbear, forbear, forbear.
B Ut mine is Cupids Pillow not fit for every Fellow, 'Tis black as the feet of the Swan as woollie as the Peech is, And tender as the Beech is, And fit for the Service of a Man, a Man, a Man. The Miller and the Farrier The Plowman and the Carrier Did proffer me fine Toys with their Pin the Grocer Suger-Candy The Vinter Wine and Brandy, They all came to stuff my Pincushing, Cushing, Cushing. The Brewer and the Baker, the Fidler and the Quaker, Resorted to my Pincushing they often would be billing, And feel if I were willing, To stick but a little small Pin, in, in, in, in. Sweet Sue may leave her Bobbing and Toy with bonny Robbin I f she a good Pincushing have I t wins the Heart of Arthur , Much better then the Garter. And makes him a lamentable Slave, a Slave, a Slave. I am resolv'd to Marry and will no longer tarry, But use my Pincushing Will, Let Cicely live and die a Maid Of leading Apes I am afraid, I must of Young Cupid have, my fill, my fill, my fill.
