I. GAllants I pray attend to this New Ditty; Good News to you I send, young Lasses witty Will be expos'd to Sale by Inch of Candle; As neat from Head to Tale, as Man can handle. II. The first is bonny Kate, a Broom-Man's Daughter, With whom a vast Estate will come hereafter; It is, I'll swear a Lease, Ten Pounds per Annum, Which comes at the decease of an Old Grannum. III. The next a Beauty bright, which Men admire, Who will both Day and Night grant your desire; She came, I do declare, last Week from Dover; As sweet a Lass as e're Man laid Leg over. IV. Young Bridget fine and gay, fit for promotion, She has I'll tell you a White-Chappel Portion, Which is a Mark a year her Mother gave her; Gallants I pray draw near, for you may have her. V. The next is Mistriss Joan, that famous Flower, Who wears it is well known, a topping Tower; With Sumptuous rich Array, like a fair Lady; Young Gallants come away, she's ripe and ready.
VI. Not far from Tunbolt-street, a Drovers Sister, She is young fair and sweet, thousands have kist her; View but her Charming Brow, never stand arg'ing, She is I'll swear and vow, a special bargain. VII. The next is Mistriss Nell, a fair young Creature, Living near Clarken-well; but you may meet her At the afore-said place, with many other; She is in right good Case to make a Mother. VIII. Would you injoy a Wit? come to this Auction, There's one that is right fit for a Concoction; The most ingenious Mirth in her is carried, Only two at a Birth, and never Married. IX. Tell me what fault is this in a young Beauty, Can it be thought amiss, to learn their Duty; Come she is fit for Game, before you buy her; Young Nancy is her Name, take her and try her. X. We have one strapping Maid, scarce one and twenty, Who by a Female Trade now lives in Plenty; To change a single Life, young men don't fail her, She'll make a Buxom wife for some poor Taylor.
