<L>Do, as I've done, keep Company with Gallants;</L>
<L>By which I'm rais'd from mean to high degree,</L>
<L>In being to young Heirs and Gallants free:</L>
<L>I fear no Colours but will &s;tand it out,</L>
<L>The wor&s;t can be, is the Covent-Garden-Gout.</L>

<LG>
<L>I Am a brave La&s;e, and I Travel'd about,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la la la le le la le ro,</HI></L>
<L>And behav'd my &s;elf bravely upon the Road,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la la la le le la le ro;</HI></L>
<L>And was welcome to every place where I did come,</L>
<L>And many a brave Gallant did look me upon,</L>
<L>But I have fine trick for to play with my own:</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la la le la le ro.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I pro&s;per'd &s;o well that to London I came,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>For that is a place to get a good name,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>And there I have got a place unto my mind,</L>
<L>And many brave Gallants do me find:</L>
<L>I'le promise unto them I'le not be unkind:</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now a crown or an Angel I have in the nick,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>For they find that I bravely can do the trick,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>I have my Silk-Gowns, and my Scarfs to wear,</L>
<L>And many a brave Gallant doth call me their Dear,</L>
<L>They &s;ee I am &s;o willing to let out my Ware.</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When I was in the Country I thought of a thing,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>That it was a great shame to &s;it there for to Spin:</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>And Whigg, whey, and Butter milk was but cour&s;e dyet,</L>
<L>For in my mind I could never be quite, </L>
<L>Now I am in London I live for more riot:</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Of Capon and Coney I feed on great &s;tore,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>And now I forgot that e're I was poor,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>I care not for Si&s;ter, I care not for Brother,</L>
<L>I live like a Lady as well as another,</L>
<L>And all with a mark that is after my Mother:</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>My Money comes ea&s;ily into my Lap,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>I am a found Country Girl, and give no one a Clap,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>Five Crowns at a time I have in my han<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="damage" EXTENT="1 letter">.</L>
<L>And all for fine ki&s;&s;es they have at command,</L>
<L>This is gallant profit I do under&s;tand,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la la le le la le ro.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Though I was but &s;imply born in degree,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>My Father old <GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="under-inked" EXTENT="1 letter">est in getting of me.</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>He got me &s;o pertty and neat to the eye,</L>
<L>That any that comes will hardly pa&s;s by,</L>
<L>They venture a Guinney or too for to try,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I ru&s;&s;el in Silk and I trample about,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>I tune up my Notes for to make them look out,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>And when I have caught a brave &s;park in my lure,</L>
<L>That money about him is mine to be &s;ure,</L>
<L>O this ki&s;&s;ing is co&s;tly it had need to be pure.</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I'le &s;end for my Si&s;ter she shall be of my Trade,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>She's as pretty as I am, and is as well made,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>And not live in the Country to abide &s;o much itch,</L>
<L>But come up to London and learn to be rich,</L>
<L>What if now and then she do venture a touch,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Nothing venture, nothing have,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>I am all for brave Gam&s;ters, I &s;corn a poor knave,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>With my eye I command them at every wink,</L>
<L>And Sack and Burn'd Claret they give me to drink,</L>
<L>Be&s;ides I am foremo&s;t with great &s;tore of Chinck.</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Who live in the Country as I did before,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>For a Groat a day that's very poor,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>When Crowns and Angels are nothing to me,</L>
<L>To plea&s;ure young Gallants that be free,</L>
<L>If I make u&s;e of my own, what is that to thee,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>So I can hold up my trade, &amp; live free from all &s;orrow,</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>If I have no money o're-night, I'le have &s;ome to mor|row</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la, &amp;c.</HI></L>
<L>And call for a Coach, and jog it about,</L>
<L>With ranting brave Gallants come in and go out,</L>
<L>If I e&s;cape but the Covent-Garden Gout.</L>
<L><HI>with a fa la la le le la le ro.</HI></L>
