I. AS I was waliking over a Plain, I met a Lovely Comely Swain , He cast his Manly looks on me, And cry'd, faith Nymph , I must love thee; Reply'd unto the Shepheard , Welcome is thy Love to me, I willing am to Wed thee, Bed thee, For I'll Marry none but thee . II. With that he hug'd me in his Arms, And seem'd to Dote upon my Charms; He Kiss'd and prest my Cheeks and Brest, And all Loves kindest vows profest; [I] with melting looks was greatful, Vowing still that only he Shou'd welcome be, to Wed me, Bed me, If to Marry he'd Agree. III. With hand in hand along we past, Kind looks we on each other cast; He Envey'd was by every Swain Who Piping sate upon the Plain: Each sweet look, or word I gave him, Mingled with a Kiss must be, Vowing he'd surely Wed me, Bed me, And love none but only me . IV. At last into a Grove we came, His Love had set me in a flame; We set beneath a shady Tree, No Lover e're more blest then we: His hand was pressing towards my Garter, Beging leave he might be free, Vowing he'd surely Wed me, Bed me, If I'de let him touch my Knee .
V. Cou'd ever a Bonny Lass Believe, He would so kind a Maid Deceive; Sweet Melting words he gently us'd, But yet at last his Love abus'd: I inflam'd with such Affection, He such Speeches used to me, Vowing he'd surely Wed me, Bed me, And desired no Love but me. VI. Like Lambs we thus began to play, And pass Loves pleasing hours away; His Words and Kisses were so sweet, His Looks, and Features so compleat, That each bold Attempt he offer'd, Kindly was Embrac'd by me; He Vowing still to Wed me, Bed me, And pursue no Lass but me . VII. We Kiss'd and Toy'd, until at last, The thoughts of Wedding quite were past; No fears cou'd our desiers Remove, Of satisfying our present Love: His kind words were so prevailing, That he bent me to his Bow; I ask'd him then to Wed me, Bed me, But he Answer'd No, no, no. VIII. I quickly after prov'd with Barne, None knows how great was my Concern; He broke the Vow so oft' profess'd, And all the kindness he Express'd: Wretched now is my Condition, For I n're shall Married be; There's none will e're Wed me, Bed me, How unkind a Wretch was he .
