WHen Tommy became first a Lover, his Nanny so fir'd ev'ry part, That poor Tommys eyes did discover the Conquest she made of his heart: Ah! Nanny, quoth he, be not cruel, reverse that ill fate of your mind, Who Nature ordain'd for a jewel, should never be fair and unkind: Ah! Nanny, quoth he etc, Were all those plump smiling Graces, that delicate supple white skin, That seems to disoul in the Embraces, and would force a Senick to Sin:
Were these my dear Nanny, bestow'd thee to keep a perverse peevish mind; Or to bless thy dear Tommy that loves thee, ah! never be fair and unkind: Were these etc. The hopes of those Ivory Pillows, to repose my poor head on at night, Secures me from all Fortunes Billows, or ought that can Nature affright: There's nothing but Nanny can please me, to Nanny my Soul is confin'd, No, nothing but Nanny can ease me, then Nanny dear Nanny be kind; Then's nothing etc.
In Nannys dear sight I have anguish, which Blushes proclaim in my face, And out of her sight I do languish, to think who possesses my place: Ah! Nanny, no more let me leave thee, but both be together confin'd, And of all my fears undeceive me, and for ever for ever be kind: Ah! Nanny, etc. Ah! Nanny, you told me you lov'd me, and bid me no more to tomplain, And when I have sigh'd have reprov'd me, and kist me, and vow'd it a Game, You told me that Fortune should never dispoyl what your Soul had design'd; That you would be Tommys for ever, and for ever to Tommy be kind: You told, etc. Remember dear Nanny, you said it, and call'd all the Gods to attest, And blushing to think that you did it, you laid your face close to my Breast: Remember how dearly I blest ye, and beg'd ne'r to alter your mind, Remember how often you kist me, and vow'd you would alwayes be kind: Remember how etc, But now cruel Nanny has left me, and owns me no more for her own, And of all my joys has bereft me, and turn'd all my hopes to dispair: That Nanny that once had so loving: obliedging, so gentle a mind, That Nanny of all Creatures moving, Is now perjur'd, false, and unkind: That Nanny, etc. What tho' my dear Nanny be cruel, and nothing her fancy can move, Yet Nanny must still be my jewel, and all that my Soul can love: Perhaps 'tis no alter of Nature, bu[t] only for Reasons Confin'd, So lovely so pritty a Creature, can never prove false and unkind.
