A Lad oth Town that made his moan one Winters morning early, Alas! that I must lye alone, and Moggies bed so near me; All night I turn, and toss, and sigh, And never can I close my eyes, For thinking that I lig so nigh the Lass I love so dearly.
Shes all Delight from foot to crown, and just sixteen her Age is, And that she still must lye alone, my heart and soul enragd is: Id give the World I might put on Each morn her stockings or her shoon; If I were but her serving-Loon, Id never ask for Wages.
GIn Moggy woud but be my Bride, Id take no farther warning, Nor value au the world beside, nor other Lasses scorning; My love is grown up to the height, I prize so much my own delight, I care not, had I her one night, so I was dead ith morning. Geud faith, shes like a pretty Lass, I never saw a sweeter; She all her Sex does far surpass in Beauty and in Feature: Gin on her face I chancd to gaze, Her pretty looks such Charms displays, That I must ever speak her praise; Venus was not compleater. Whenever Moggy I espy, I lowly dof my Bonnet; And oft in her sweet company I sing a love-sick Sonnet: Yet she regardless of my pain, Which I strive to express in vain, Bids me forbear for to complain, and tell her no more on it. Ah waes me! Moggys to blame, not to grant my desire; Gin she did first create the flame which set my heart on fire. Was I a King of great Renown, And had a Scepter and a Crown, I at her feet woud lay them down, one night for to lig by her. Gin she so mickle is unkind, my life is grown uneasie; No rest nor quiet can I find, nor nothing that can please me. But if she still continues so, And no more kindness will bestow, To the Elizium shades I go; ah! Death will quickly seize me.
