TEll me Jenny tell me roundly, when you will your heart surrender, Faith and troth I love you soundly, it was I that was the first pretender: Ne'r say nay, nor delay, here's my heart and her's my hand too; All that's mine, shall be thine, body and goods at thy commond too. Ah, how many Maids, quoth Jenny, have you promis'd to be true to, [?]e, I think the Devils in ye, to kiss a body so as you do:
What d'ye do, let me go, I can't abide such foolish doing, Get ye gone, naughty man, fye is this your way of Wooing. Prithee Jenny don't despise me, since I am thy faithful lover, I above the Indies prize thee, and my mind to thee discover, Take no care, for I swear, thou shalt be my only Jewel, Grant relief, to my grief, prithee dearest be not cruel.
All your words cannot deceive me, for I know you do but flatter, When your will is gain'd youl leave me, for to mince upon the matter: Therefore know, to your bow, I will never yield or bend to, For I find, words are wind, whatsoever you pretend to. O my heart will burst in sunder, if you do not grant some pitty, Jenny is the worlds great wonder, of the pregnant, wise and witty, Oh my dear, do not fear, for to you I will be loyal, If to me, you'l be free, and but put me to the tryal. Well quoth Jenny you hove charm'd me, with the power of your expression, And with love has strangely arm'd me, from which I can make no digression: And will grant what you want, if you will vouchsafe to marry, And if so, let us go, for I will no longer tarry. Dearest Jenny I consent to, this your fair and friendly offer, Which shall be to thy content to, since you make so kind a proffer: None alive shall deprive, me of my dear and only honey, I am thine, thou art mine, better far than Gold or money. Thus at length they both consented, nothing could these Lovers sever, And their friends were well consented, they resolv'd to love for ever: So they went, with intent, to the Kirk for to be marry'd, Both did joyn, and combine vex'd that they so long had [t]arry'd.
