I. GAllants I-pray attend to this New Ditty; Good News to you I send, young Lasses witty Will be expos'd to Sale by Inch of Candle; As neat from Head to Tale, as Man can handle. II. The first is bonny Kate , a Broom-Man's Daughter, With whom a vast Estate will come hereafter; It is, I'll swear a Lease, Ten Pounds per Annum , Which comes at the decease of an Old Grannum. III. The next a Beauty bright, which Men admire, Who will both Day and Night grant your desire; She came, I do declare, last Week from Dover ; As sweet a Lass as e're Man laid Leg over. IV. Young Bridget fine and gay, fit for promotion, She has I'll tell you a White-Chappel Portion, Which is a Mark a year her Mother gave her; Gallants I pray draw near, for you may have her. V. The next is Mistress Joan , that famous Flower, Who wears it is well known, a topping Tower; With Sumptuous rich Array, like a fair Lady; Young Gallants come away, she's ripe and ready.
VI. Not far from Tunbolt-street , a Drovers Sister, She is young fair and sweet, thousands have kist her; View but her Charming Brow, never stand arg'ing, She is I'll swear and vow, a special bargain. VII. The next is Mistress Nell , a fair young Creature, Living near Clarken-well ; but you may meet her At the afore-said place, with many other; She is in right good Case to make a Mother. VIII. Would you injoy a Wit? come to this Auction, There's one that is right fit for a Concoction; The most ingenious Mirth in her is carried, Only two at a Birth, and never Married. IX. Tell me what fault is this in a young Beauty, Can it be thought amiss, to learn their Duty; Come she is fit for Game, before you buy her, Young Nancy is her Name, take her and try her. X. We have one strapping Maid, scarce one and twenty, Who by a Female Trade now lives in Plenty; To change a single Life, young men don't fail her, She'll make a Buxom wife for some poor Taylor.
