A Lustie Countrie Lad, that lately came to Towne, His pockets were so clad, with many a Silver Crowne: A Miller by his Trade, his dwelling is at Bow, A place of much resort, as sundry people know: But Dick the Millers Sonne, that powdered all his haire, Alas, he is undone, by medling with light ware. He bought a Perry-wig, a gallant Suit of Clothes, Which was bestrewd with Musk, more sweeter then a Rose: A Cambrick Band and Cuffs, his Halfe-shirt out before, His Breeches had of Ribbons at least a dozen score: But Dick, etc. A Beaver, and a Feather the Crowne did over-top, With Ribbons round about, like a Haberdashers-shop: He bought a paire of Boots, with huge and mighty Toes, The size was twenty foure, which peept up to his nose: But Dick, etc,
A Rapier by his side, against his Spurs did clap, At last he met a Lasse, that provd a cunning snap: His Cloake about his middle, most brave he wore the same, And walking in Moore-fields, he met a Venus Dame: But Dick, etc. She rusled in her Silke, as she by him did passe, And after as I heard she servd him like an Asse: Good morrow sir, quoth she, which made young Dick amzad, To see her painted face, his spirits soone were raysd: But Dick, etc. Faire Mistris then, said Dick, lets to the Taverne goe, Yet like a Maiden chaste, at first she answered no: But Dick opprest with lust, his spirits did so rise, That he did her request, and she no more denyes: But Dick the Millers Sonne, that powdered all his haire, Alack, he is undone, by medling with light ware.
IMagine how their time in merryment was spent, With kisses sweet and fine, which Richard did content; And with her apron strings young Dick began to play, Yet she with modest lookes cryd, pish, nay fie, away: But Dick the Millers Sonne, that powdered all his haire, Alas, he is undone, by medling with light ware. So smoking of his Nose, and drinking store of Sack, Thinking to have his will but his wits began to crack: So civilly to bed this loving couple goes, She left him fast asleepe, and stole away his Clothes. But Dick etc. The Vintner he came up, his Reckoning for to have, But Dick not well awakt, did call him sawcie Knave: But turning round about, and could no Clothes espy, Then Richard soone was forcd Peccavi for to cry. But Dick etc.
The Vintner much in rage, did strike him ore the face, That Richard at that time was in a stinking case; And with his leg and feet he kickt him out of doore, And bid him like a Rogue goe to his pocky Whoore. Thus Dick etc. Thus naked home he went unto his Fathers Mill, Where he was entertaind, and doth continue still: When Richard took his Tole, he three times more did take, To buy him other Clothes, which she sold for his sake. Thus Dick etc. Ill gotten goods nere thrive, take heed you pilferers all, Lest you like strutting Dick to such mischances fail: Then young men have a care of painted curled Locks, For such, though faire above, below may have the Pox. But Dick the Millers Sonne, that powdered all his haire, Alas, he is undone, by medling with light ware.
