A Youthful Damsel fair and bright, if you will now believe the truth, She makes it still her chief delight, to exercise the tricks of youth, In wanton pleasures she does spend her days, In hopes she may her honour raise, in hopes she may her honour raise , Young gallants on her beauty gaze, young gallants on her beauty gaze . Tho' many Gallants her adore, yet this alas could not suff[i]ce, She had another friend in store, whom she did far more highly prize: Then [de]cking of her self in rich array,
To find him out she took her way, to find, etc. To London where she knew he lay, to London, etc. She could not find her faithful friend, therefore she ranging up and down, A Squire m[e]t her in the end, this did her joys with comfort crown, Then to a most convenient place they go, And where he might his kindness show, and where, etc, The Damsel yeild[e]d to his bow, the Damsel, etc.
She did not count it as a crime, so long as he had store of chink, In mirth they past away the time, and in Canar[y] they did drink: For which he oftentimes did freely call, And then they to embraces fall, and then, etc. Quoth she thy purse shall pay for all, quoth she, etc. By policy she did invent, how she the Squires purse might clear, The day was sp[e]nt in sweet content, at length the silent night drew near. No charges would this noble Squire spare But did a famous Room prepare, but did, etc. There to enjoy this charming fair, there to enjoy, etc. Now when the Squire was in bed, he sleeping like a drows[i]y drone, The Guinyes they run in her head, how she might make them all her own: And in the morning by the break of day, She got his Golden Guineys gay, she got, etc. Likewise his Watch and went her way, likewise, etc.
Now when the Squire did awake, and finding of himself alone, Then what a racket he did make, with a most lamentable tone: My Watch & Guineys they are gone I find. O[h] this did much torment his mind. O this, etc. Was he not served in his kind, was he, etc. The Squire then did quit the room, and to the Drawer did repair, His Guinnies made him fret and fume, Yet yet he patiently must bear With that and more, for they to him did say. Kind Sir here is your shot to pay, kind Sir , etc. Come down with it without delay. come down, etc. His very heart with grief did melt, and what to do he did not know, There did he leave his Sword and Belt, and glad he was he got off so: All you that hear this ditty p[r]ay keep fre[e] From such like lewd inconstancy, from such like lewd inconstancy , For fear this should your portion be, for fear this should your portion be .
