YOu single Men all whose Money is small, 'Twill be for your good if you come at my call; For as I am told an Office they hold, Where pretty young Women and Maids will be sold For Clip'd Money. The great Undertakers, are no Cuckold-makers, But yea and nays verily, innocent Quakers; Full forty or more, through the City all o're, Will sell you young Women and Lasses galore For Clip'd Money.
There is, I declare, the Charming and Fare, Drest with her Toppings and powdered Hair, Which never was nought, but learnedly taught, These pritty sweet innocent Saints may be bought For Clip'd Money. The Aged and Young, whose Lutes are well strung, Each having a delicate eloquent Tongue, To prattle and prate, like Ladies of State, Now these will be sold at a reasonable Rate For Clip'd Money.
At Maidenhead-court, I well can report, There's one which no Gallant e're enter'd her Fort, Drest in a Nightrail, with a train to her tail, This Lady she will be exposed to sale For Clip'd Money. Friend Thomas and Ben, has seven times ten, Fair beautiful Virgins that never knew Men, Scarce fourteen Years old, in Fringes of Gold; Now these I must tell you are all to be sold For Clip'd Money. Without Temple-bar, a beautiful Sar, Sweet Madam Mosella, who came from a far, With her white snowy Breast, most gallantly drest, And she's to be sold now amongst all the rest For Clip'p Money. A Squire's young Miss, that Darling of Bliss, Kick't off because she with a Coachman did kiss; She's come from Pell-mell, and lies at the Bell, Where our Friend Richard he has her to sell For Clip'd Money. Young Batchelors pray no longer delay, But sum up your Cash now and hasten away; Here's delicate News, not far from the Muse, Friend Richard had forty, you may pick a choose For Clip'd Money. The brown, or the black, or the mackarel-back. Or if a buxome, brisk Damsel you lack, As plump as a Doe, both above and below, You may have what you can desire I know For Clip'd Money. A Taylor of late, who wanted a Mate, Yet he must have one of a very low rate; All over the Town he beat the Price down At length the poor Taylor bought one for a Crown In Clip'd Money. Tho' she was not the chief, let me tell you in brief, I declare she must needs be as cheap as Neck-beef: There is other young Blades now of several Trades, That are buying of beautiful Widdows and Maids For Clip'd Money.
