COme hither my own sweet Duck and sit upon my knee, That thou and I may truck, for thy Comodity. If thou wilt be my Honey then I will be thy own, Thou shalt not want for money, if thou wilt make it known. With hey ho my honey, my heart shall never rue, For I have been spending mony and amongst the jovial crew. I prethee leave thy scorning which our true Love beguiles, Thy eyes are bright as morning the Sun shines in thy smiles, Thy gesture is so prudent, thy language is so free, That he is the best student which can study thee. With hey ho, etc. The Merchant would refuse his Indies and his Gold If he thy Love might chuse, and have thy heart in hold, Thy beauty yeelds more pleasure then Rich men keep in store, And he that hath such treasure, never can be poore. With hey ho, etc.
The Lawyer would forsake his wit and pleading strong The Reverend Judge would take thy part were it right or wrong. Should men thy beauty see amongst the learned throngs, Thy very eyes would bee too hard for all their tongues. With hey ho, etc. Thy kisses to thy Friend Surgeons skill out-strips, For nothing can transcend the Balsome of thy lips. There is such vital power contained in thy breath That at the latter houre raise a man from death. With hey ho, etc. Astronomers would not lye gazing in the skyes, Had they thy beauty got no stars shine like thine eyes. For he that may importune thy love to an imbrace, Can read no better Fortune, than is in thy face. With hey ho my honey my heart shall never rue, For I have been spending money and amongst the jovial crew.

THe Souldier would throw down his Pistols and Carbine, And freely would be bound to wear no arms but thine, If thou wert but ingaged to meet him in the Field, Though never so much inraged, thou couldst make him yield. With hey ho, my honey, my heart shall never rue, For I have been spending money and amongst the jovial crew. The Sea-man would reject to sail upon the Sea, And his good ship neglect to be aboard of thee: When thou lyest on thy Pillows, he surely could not fail, To make thy breast his Billows, and to hoist up sail. With hey ho, etc. The greatest Kings alive would wish thou wert their own And every one would strive to make thy lap his Throne: For thou hast all the merit that Love and liking brings; Besides a noble spirit, which may conquer Kings. With hey ho, etc. Were Rosamond on earth, I surely should abhor her, Though nere so great by birth,
I would not change thee for her. Though Kings & Queens are gallant and bear a Royal sway, The poor man hath his Tallent, and loves as well as they. With hey ho, etc. Then prethee come and kisse mee and say thou art my own I vow I would not misse thee not for a Princes throne; Let Love and I perswade thee my gentle sute to hear, If thou wilt be my Lady then I will be thy Dear. With hey ho, etc. I never will deceive thee, but ever will be true Till death, I shall not leave thee or change thee for a new, We'l live as mild as may be, if thou wilt but agree And get a pretty Baby with a face like thee. With hey ho, etc. Let these perswasions move thee kindly to comply There's no man that can love thee with so much Zeal as I; Do thou but yield mee pleasure, and take from mee this pain, I'le give thee all the treasure Horse and Men can gain. With hey ho, etc.
I'le fight in forty Duels to obtain thy grace, I'le give thee precious Jewels shall adorn thy face, Ere thou for want of money be to destruction hurl'd For to support my Honey I'le plunder all the world. With hey ho, etc. That smile doth shew consenting then prethee let's be gone There shall be no repenting when the deed is done, My blood and my affection, strongly move, Then let us for this action fly to yonder Grove. With hey ho, etc. Let's lye down by these bushes, that are grown so high Where I will hide thy blushes there's no standers by, This seventh day of July upon this bank wee'l lye Would all were, that love truely, as close as thou and I. With hey ho my honey, my heart shall never rue. For I have been spending money, and amongst the jovial crew.
FINIS.
