N Ot long ago it chanced so, abroad as I was walking, A Damsel fair I soon espy'd, and to her self was talking: Ah! woe is me, poor wretch quoth she, that had not forecast rather For now I am grown big with Bearn, but I do not know the Father. One night when I lay in my Bed, to sleep as it was needful, And having but a careless head, and being much unheedful
A young-man came, but not his name by him I could not gather, That night i'me sure I prov'd with bearn but I do not know the Father. He made no stay, but whipt away, when he had had his pleasure, O that nights work hath me undone, I may repent at leisure; Now will I ramble up and down, to find out this young shaver, For if he live in L ondon-town , my Child shall have a Father.
I think no C arpenter was he, no S hipwright , nor no Saylor , I rather think it for to be some lusty jovial T aylor : Or if he were a Glover good, a Black-Smith , or a Weaver , My meaning may be understood, my C hild should have a F ather. Or if he were a Butcher bold, a Baker , or a Brewer , No secret place my friend shall hold but I will find him sure, Or if he were a Serving-man , a Royster , or a S haver . I'le find my Gallant if I can, my C hild must have a Father. But if I can by no means find the Man that I adorn Sir, I'le rest my self content in mind, until my Child is born Sir; And when he comes to 7 years old, I by my Child shall gather, For he will be of qualities like unto his right Father.
For if a Fleming got my Child, he will eat all the Butter Or if he be a S paniard wild, he'll keep a deadly clutter: Or if he be an Irish Teague , my Child will ride the Hobby, Or if he be a Welsh-man like, C[o]tts-Plues he loves Cows-Bobby . Or if he be a Scotch-mans Son, he will begin a Quarrel, Or if he be of French-mans Bone, he'l pawn his best aparrel: Or if he be a Souldiers Son, I'le buy him a Hat and Feather, And with a Drum i'le send my s on to seek out his right Father. When she had finish'd all her talk, from thence she soon departed, And then another way did walk, both blith and merry hearted; But then I cannot now surmise, or any way can gather, Or which way then she could devise to find out her C hilds Father.
