I. JEnny has a Thousand Charms, Oh! that she were in my Arms; Oh! how brisk we'd pass the pleasing night, While the minutes glide away in sweet Delight, What is softer then her tender Arms? What is sweeter than her melting Charms? When she dyes, How bright her Eyes, how white her Thighs? What Treasures, Pleasures, Where the Fountain lyes? All the Swains and Shepherds sigh, and bring Crowns, of Garlands, from the fragrant Spring, And each Shepherdess around Fairy Ground do's dance, While Pan do's pipe and sing. II. When I view her sparkling Eye, There Ten thousand Cupid's lye, All that's either fair, or soft, or sweet, In my dearest tender Jenny always meet. What can we poor Mortals wish for more? Beauties Blessing is the sweetest store. Full of Charms Are Jennys Arms, There are no harms, From Lovers there are always safe Alarms, Let us then to Mirtle Groves retire, Full of Love, and full of harmless Fire, There in secret Shades, Like kind and bashfull Maids, We may there enjoy whatever we desire.
III. Give me then a White-Fac'd-Foe, Then to War I'll quickly goe; Let her have be sure a beauteous Face, And her Head-piece made of Bobbin-Flanders-lace: Let her try me whether I can fight, In the Day, or in the darkest Night, If I'm slain, I'll rise again, I fear no Pain; So like a Trojan true I'll ne'er complain. Genteels, what I say, to this I'll stand, And whene'er she please, I'll give my hand, And upon my word to this, Seal it with a Kiss, To be at her Command. IV. Come my Lasses, come away, Prithee try me, while you may, Put on either Scarf, Commode, or Hood, But make hast I say, while I am warm and good. Let each Man that courts or loves a Maid, Take and kiss her e'er Beauty fade, No Delay, But Now today, Once more I say, Go take and hug, and kiss her while you may Nothing can be like the present Time, Give me Wine and Women in their prime, And before that e'er they pall Give me all; Beauties Pleasure is sublime.
