UNderneath a little Mountain where I us'd myself to walk, By a pretty pleasant Fountain there I heard two Lovers talk Hah! said he my only Jewel, would you have your Lover dye, Can you be so fare and cruel no indeed quoth she not I, Why my dear my pretty Nancy, will you then torment my mind? If poor Willy you can fancy shew yourself to him more kind.
Or if you design my Ruine, I am willing for to dye But be short in my undoing Still she answered no not I. Why then pray will you torment me and take pleasure in my smart, When a kind look will content me will you frown to break my Heart, If it be my Nanny's Pleasure on my Sword I'le freely die, Give the word my only Treasure Still she answered no not I.
Bid me live and i'le endeavour, every way to gain your Love If this be to great a Favor, bid me from your eyes remove Deal with me as with a Creature as you please shall live or die Are you Mistress of ill Nature, Still she answered no not I. This indeed was more tontenting, than what e're before she gave Tho it was not full consenting it encourag'd her Flame. Should I tempt to kiss my fair one would you say dispair and die, Say my Love my only dear one Still she answered no not I. Then he laid his Arms, about her she the Posture did Approve, He resolv'd no more to doubt her and by progress of his Love
Gain'd such conquest streight upon her that at last they swain cry Will you yield the Fort of Honour Still she answered no not I. But their was so little distance and so yielding a defence That he found all her resistance was but only complesence, Now said he you must surrender if I force you will cry? All she said fo: to defend her Was indeed my dear not I. Hard it was at the first Sally for to say which side would heat, Tho poor Willey oft did Rally he as often did retreat: But what most deserv'd my wonder Willey he for all his Art, Tho he kept poor Nanny under was the first desir'd to part.
