PRAY rub up your Ears, and I'll tell you a thing, The wonder of Subjects, the Wit of a King: Then give me attention to what I do Sing, Sing Tantara rara Boys hey, Boys hey, sing Tantara rara Boys hey. The Young Prince of Wales he went over to France, To Fence and to Fiddle, and learn to Dance; And there he did meet with a Mistris by chance: Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. He spy'd from his Cradle a Princess, that Cry'd, The Dophin's young Daughter with Swadling Clouts ty'd: And fell in a Passion, as it he would have dy'd. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. The Prince to a minut, was half a year Old; The Princess a quarter, but bucksome and bold, And both they were willing their Loves to unfold. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. Young Innocent mumbl'd, and fumbl'd the Wench: And she made him answer, by Smiling in French: But he with his Rattle her passion did quench. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. The Mazareen-King, the Most Christian Fox, That Europe Confounded, and Christendom Choaks: He heard of the Woing, and swore by the POX. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. Your Right to Three Kingdoms I dare to deny; Then hopeful young Innocent, pray thee stand by: But Old Father Peters, he thus did reply. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. The Prince of Wales's Right (tho' now by mischance, He lives in your Kingdom, and backward doth dance) [Is] as good to England as yours was to France. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc.
At last they agree'd, and both Parties content: The day was appointed, mistakes to prevent; And the Turk's Great Defender he gave his Consent. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. Two Ladies of Honour the Parties did bear, The Bride in a Cradle, and him in a Chair; But both in the Chappel, did Cry out for fear. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. The Priest he made hast, and joyned their Hands; And thus secur'd them, in Wedlock Bands, Yet neither had Kingdom, nor People, nor Lands. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. The Table was cover'd, the Dishes came in; The Bride and the Bride-groom to cry did begin, For the poor Prince of Wales saw none of his Kin. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. When Dinner was ended, to Dancing they went, And Lewis and Mally they Danc'd with consent; A Jeg of sweet pleasure which gave them content. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. The Popoe had a Daughter both Hansome and Fair, The only Brid's Maiden, that day, that was there, And she, of young Bastards had brought forth a pair. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. The Princess was Pretty, and Royally Clad; But still Young and Foolish, and hardly well Bred; But the Prince he was eager to have her a Bed. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc. When both were a Bed, and the Candle put out, And the Bride-groom drew nearer he S----t in his Clo[ut,] And the Wedding did end with a Stink and a Rout. Sing Tantara rara Boys, etc.
