STrike up drousy Guts-scrapers, Gallants be ready, each with his Lady; Foot it about, till the night be run out; Let no ones humour pall. Brisk Lads, now cut your Capers, Put your legs to't, and show you can do't; Frisk, frisk it away, till break of day; And high for Richmond Ball. Fortune-biters, Hags, Bum-fighters, Nymphs of the Woods, and stale City goods; Ye Cherubins and Seraphins, Ye Caravans and Haradans, In order all advance: Twittenham Loobies, Tristleworth Boobies, Wits of the Town, and Beaus that have none; Ye Jacobites as sharp as Pins, Ye Monsieurs, and ye Shooterkins, I'll teach you all the Dance. Come fair Ladies, whose Beauty Is so admir'd, you are requir'd To make your Choice. Oh! how sweet is the Voice That Sings so high and low? Then come here all together, The black and brown, from every Town; Then you will find, Love will be kind, And Joys will higher grow. Mind your Dancing, still advancing, Now with a grace, in each proper place, Move soft and sweet, advance, retreat, And never fear, the Music here, Mind still your own affairs: Battersy Misses with your soft kisses, Clapham likewise with languishing eyes, With us be free to bear a part, 'Twill please young Ladies to the heart, No Dance with this compairs.
Brisk young Country Lasses, After their labour, with pipe and tabor, Will Dance around, while with Garlands they'r crown'd, Like pleasant Queens of May, With Robin, Ralph, and Harry, Whom they adore. Now Gallants therefore Keep, keep to the sport, we at the Court Will be as blith as they. Love and pleasure, time and leasure, Crowns with delight, the revelling night Of drollery, then let us be In such a mood, which may conclude The Dance with double joy: Every Beauty minding her duty, Keep time and then, young frolicksome Men, Your pleasant charms they will adore, And love you when the Dance is o'er; But she is curst that's coy. Cast off, Tom, behind Johnny, Do the same Nanny, eyes are upon ye; Trip in between little Dicky and Jane, And set in the second row: Then, then cast back you must too, And up the first row, nimbly thrust through; Then, then turn about, to the left or you'r out, And meet with your Love below. Pass, then cross, then Jacky's pretty Lass, Then turn her about, about and about; And Jack if you can do so too, With Betty whilst the time is true, We'll all your ear commend; Still there's more, to lead all four, Two by Nancy stand, and give her your hand; Then cast her quickly down below, And meet her in the second row; The dance is at an end.
