(1) HEre is a New Medley of pastime enough. My Grand mother was an Old wife in a Ruff, I will go to the Captain and fall on my Knees, Shon ap Morgan loves Leeks and her good tosted sheese, And Jockey to Genny he prov'd a saw Loon, Here's a Health in full Bowls to the Man in the Moon. (2) There was a young Damsel both Boony and Brown, If I live to grow Old for I find I grow down, Fourpence half-penny Farthing. A Taylors no man, Now there was an Old Prince and his name was K John, I would have a Figgary but where is my Wife, A dish of good meat is the stay of mans life. (3) There was a Blind Beggar that long lost his sight, Fairest Synthia the beauty was Strephon's delight, Now a Coach cannot pass in the street for a Carr, For Peggy's gone over Sea with a Soldier; Let us go from the Temple away to the Bed, I will tell you I have a Colts Tooth in my Head. (4) I am a stout Pavior and Stones I can lay, Now arise my dear Cloris 'tis all abroad day, Now I am a Maid and a very good Maid, Pray remember last Winter I learn'd you your Trade: And how vain are the sordid Intreagues of the Town, Pritty Nancy will never take less than a Crown,
(5) The Merry-Gold opens and spreads with the Sun, I am Marry'd good People and yet I'm undone; True Blew will near stain, let the Bottles go round, Oh the Arrows of Cupid fair Phillis did wound; Young Gallants will Tipple, nay, Hector and Swear, Pritty Sue was catcht Napin, as Mass catcht his Mare. (6) There was a bold Keeper that Chased the Deer The Parson he Kisses Young Nancy we hear: Sweet Katy of Windsor she Rid to the Mill, My thing is my own and I'll keep it so still; This is my dearest Love how do ye like of her hoe, Whipping Tom is a coming fair Sillo my Foe. (7) The Pudding and Dumpling is burnt to the Pot, Pretty Nancy I'll treat thee and pay the whole shot, Here is Silver and Gold the tother thing too, Precious Bells and a Curril sweet Ladys for you; Therefore buy my fine Fancies, oh buy them up soon, That I may sell all my New Songs a ver boon.
