AS Jone was walking ore the Green, she met young Roger brisk and gay, As soon as he by her was seen, with melting Eyes she thus did say: Why do you strive to baffle me, Am I not Flesh and Blood, said she. I heard of late, you Courted Kate, and vowd that she should be your Bride, Why do you serve me at this rate, my Flames I can no longer hide: A Twelve-month you have courted me, Am I not Flesh and Blood, said she.
I hear you gave her Cakes and Ale, with many other pleasant toys; While I my sorrows do bewail, as being robbd of all those joys: Come, Roger, this must never be, For I am flesh and blood, said she. You promisd her a Wedding-Ring, nay gave her huggs and kisses store; Saying you had a better thing, but that you promisd me before: I cant forget your Villany, For I am flesh and blood, says she.
I Was your Fellow-servant long, and lovd you too it is well known; How can you then in Conscience wrong your dear intire sweet-heart Joan? Have some regard to pitty me, For I am flesh and blood, said she. When I fed you with Curds and Cream, and you did likewise kindness show: I then, alas, did little Dream that ever youd a servd me so: But now vouchsafe to pitty me, For I am flesh and blood, said she. Last Easter you did swear and vow youd prove to me an honest Man; I put this to your conscience now, deny it, Roger, if you can: Why are you then unkind to me, Am I not flesh and blood, says she. By Right I sigh, instead of sleep, my heart is so with grief opprest, While you her company do keep, alas, it breaks me of my rest:
Come, Roger, this must never be, For I am flesh and blood, said she. At length young Roger thus replyd, I will be true to thee alone; And if I ever wed a Bride, it shall be thee my sweet-heart Joan: Now dry up all thy tears, said he, For I love none alive but thee. My Dear, this is a false report, which some has raisd to make thee grieve But I no other Lass did court, if that my word you will believe; Then dry up all thy tears, said he, For I love none alive but thee. It is not Kate that shall deprive my Jewel of her constant Love: Nor ner another Lass alive, for I will ever constant prove: Appoint the Day, well Marryd be, For I love none alive but thee.
