I Am as bold a Hector, As most is in the Nation, Inflam'd with smiling Nectar, Then, then, to Admiration, I Court the Ladies fair and gay, 'Tis in vain for them to say me nay; I first ador'd their Charms, Then clasp them in my Arms, And tho' perchance they cry, Be Civil, Sir, O fie! Yet still they'll panting lye, For they, they, do love a little wanton play. There is not one in twenty, Has power to deny me, I give them Kisses plenty, Then strait they sit down by me; Let her be Widow, Maid or Wife, For a time I love as dear as life; If she be young and fair, There's no degree I spare, From Ladies of Renown, In City, Court and Town, To Nancys Russet-gown, I go, go, this seven Years it has been so. There never was a Squire, That could the least out-vie me; Long Wigg and rich Attire, I can afford to buy me: For while the Merchant walks the Change, I can in his little Warren range, And freely play the Game, Which I forbear to name; And when the Sport is o'er, There's a reward in store, Bright Giunneys half a score, Thus I, I, have evermore a full supply.
There's five or six and thirty, Young Dames that do adore me, And Faith, I can't be durty, when they in Tears implore me, For something which I have to give, If I am, then never let me live; Like to the tender Dove, I'll grant them Love for Love, Tho' Beauty wanting be, If there be Ginneys free, all a case to me, I'll mow, mow, Money makes the Mare to go. A Tailor's Wife, poor Woman, One Morning chance to meet me, Her Husband he was no Man, Therefore she did intreat me To stand her friend in time of need, Saying, It was a charitable Deed, Besides, she laid me down, Two Ginneys and a Crown: Here's all I have, she cry'd, I hant a Groat beside, Let me not be deny'd, Kind Sir, Sir, my Husband is a poor Tailor. The Gold I did admire, brighter than her Beauty, I could not well deny her, But straight I did my Duty; And in three quarters of a Year, She had a young Son and Daughter dear; Which makes her Heart full glad, The Tailor he's a Dad, As well he may suppose; He little thinks sweet Rose, Is one of my dear Does, But sweet Soul, she is the leventh in my Role.
