COld and Raw the North did blow bleak in the morning early; All the Trees were hid with Snow, coverd with Winters yearly: As I came riding oer the Slough, I met with a Farmers Daughter; Rosie Cheeks, and bonny Brow, geud Faith made my mouth to water.
Down I vaild my Bonnet low, meaning to show my breeding, She returnd a graceful bow, her Visage far exceeding; I askd here where she went so soon, and longd to begin a Parley; She told me to the next Market-Town, a purpose to sell her Barley.
In this Purse, sweet Soul, said I, twenty pound lies fairly, Seek no farther one to buy, for Ise take all thy Barley: Twenty more shall purchase delight, thy Person I love so dearly, If thou wilt lig by me all night, and gang home in the morning early. If Forty pound would buy the Globe, this thing Ide not do Sir, Or were my Friends as poor as Job, Id never raise em so Sir: For shoud you prove to night my Friend, wese get a young Kid together, And youd be gone eer nine Months end, and where shall I find the Father? Pray what would my Parents say, if I should be so silly, To give my Maidenhead away, and lose my true Love Billy?
Oh, this would bring me to Disgrace, and therefore I say you nay, Sir; And if that you would me Embrace, first Marry, and then you may Sir. I told her I had Wedded been, fourteen years and longer, Else Id chuse her for my Queen, and tye the Knot yet stronger. She bid me then no farther rome, but manage my Wedlock fairly, And keep my Purse for poor Spouse at home, for some other should have her Barley. Then as swift as any Roe, she rode away and left me; After her I could not go, of Joy she quite bereft me: Thus I my self did disappoint, for she did leave me fairly, My words knockd all things out of joint, I lost both the maid and barley.
