I. NOw Mopsa now we are alone, I prithee be not coy, But kind unto your Corydon , that he may you enjoy: I'll hug ye, kiss ye, love ye too, more than all the World beside, And if I find ye to be true, you soon shall be my Bride; Then prithee pull off this fine Geer, That we may go to Bed my Dear. II. Do not rumple my Top-knot, I'll not be kiss'd to day, I'll not be pull'd nor haul'd about, thus on a Holy-day; But if your Rudeness you won't leave no more words to be said, See this long Pin upon my Sleeve, I'll stick it to the head; And if you rumple my Head-Geer, I'll give you a good Ferret of the Ear. III. What makes you be so peevish now, when that I do adore ye, And prize ye too, I swear and vow, be kinder I implore you; Then Love and Hate, do what you will you are all over Charms; I can't forbear to love you still, then come unto my Arms, And since that it is Holy-day, Let us together go and play.

IV. Come upon a Worky-day, when I've my Old Cloaths on, I will not be so nice nor coy, nor stand so much upon; Then hug and pull and do your best, yet I will gentle be; Kiss hand and mouth, and feel my breast, and tickle too my knee; I'll not be put out of my Robe, You shall not rumple my Commode. V. I have no time to come abroad, upon a Worky-day; Then prithee Mopsa be not proud, but let us go and play: I long so much thy Lips to kiss, and fold you in my Arms; Then don't deny me now the Bliss, but let us taste the Charms, And sweetly pass our time away, Then prithee make no more delay. VI. What is the matter Corydon , that you do thus intrude? When I have got my best Cloaths on, you should not be so rude: Oh fie, nay pish, what do you mean? I'll sware I will not stay, Then get you gone, and come again upon another day, I will not be so finely drest, Then hug and kiss, and do your best. part::end
