Captain. DEar Pickninny, If half a Guinny To Lvoe will win ye lay it here down: We must be thrifty, 'Twill serve to shift ye, And I know fifty Will do't for a Crown. Duns comes so boldly, And Money so slowly, That by all things holy 'Tis all I can say: Yet I am so wrapt in, The Snares that i'm trapt in As i'm a true Captain, It's more than my Pay. Miss. Good Captain Thunder, Go mind your Plunder; Odzooks! I wonder You dare be so bold. Thus to be making A Treaty so sneaking, Or dream of the taking My Fort without Gold Other Town Misses May gape at half Pieces; But who me possesses A Guinny shall pay. To all poor Rogues is Buff Thus, thus, I strut and huff; So Captain Kick and Cuff, March on your way.
Captain. Come, come, leave slighting And take delight in One that loves Fighting, Yet you does love more. Do but once try me, You'll nere more deny me, Then prithee lye be me Thou little dam'd W---- Here my dear Hunny, Nere refuse Money Thou'rt brisk and bonny, And lives by thy Trade: It's but a folly, To stand shilly shally, For i'le no more dally With thee like a Maid. Miss. As for my Ware Sir, You must forbear Sir, And come not there Sir, Although you scold; 'Tis not your huffing, Nor yet your puffing, Nor kick and cuffing Shall do without Gold. I'le not deceive ye, Therefore believe me, you must now ygive me A Guinny or more. Without the yellow, You are no fellow, And if you bellow Sir, there is the Door.
