<L><HI>See Parents when that you your Children force</HI></L>
<L><HI>Again&s;t their Wills, to turn Love from it's Cour&s;e;</HI></L>

<L><HI>And &s;oon you'l &s;ee the folly of your Age;</HI></L>

<L><HI>JENNY</HI> &s;he was a Wanton Girl,</L>
<L>and kept her Fathers Sheep,</L>
<L>Yet <HI>Jockey</HI> though a homely Churl,</L>
<L>would fain with <HI>Jenny</HI> Sleep;</L>
<L>Geud Faith he came to Court a good,</L>
<L>but <HI>Jenny</HI> would not &s;ay,</L>
<L><HI>And do poor</HI> Iockey <HI>what he cou'd,</HI></L>
<L><HI>&s;till <HI>Jenny</HI> cry'd O Nay.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He felt her with his hard rough hand,</L>
<L>and often &s;trove to Smouch her,</L>
<L>But <HI>Jenny</HI> made him off to &s;tand,</L>
<L>and would not let him touch her:</L>
<L>For <HI>Jenny</HI> at defiance &s;tood,</L>
<L>though <HI>Jockey</HI> much did &s;ay,</L>
<L><HI>And do poor</HI> Iockey <HI>what he cou'd,</HI></L>
<L><HI>&s;till</HI> Ienny <HI>cry'd O Nay.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He many times aloud did &s;igh,</L>
<L>and Che&s;nuts did pre&s;ent her,</L>
<L>And in his <HI>Plad</HI> and <HI>Bonnet</HI> blith,</L>
<L>&s;trove all for to content her:</L>
<L>But that the La&s;s in her mad mood,</L>
<L>would not Loves power obey,</L>
<L><HI>For do poor</HI> Iockey <HI>what he cou'd,</HI></L>
<L><HI>&s;till</HI> Ienny <HI>cry'd O Nay.</HI></L>

<L>He gave her often Curds and Cream,</L>
<L>and The&s;e from off the &s;helf,</L>
<L>And did as often lead her home,</L>
<L>to proffer her him&s;elf:</L>
<L>And &s;ighing often <HI>Jockey</HI> wou'd</L>
<L>have Lead to Kirk the way,</L>
<L><HI>But do poor</HI> Iockey <HI>what he cou'd,</HI></L>
<L><HI>&s;till Jenny cry'd O Nay.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>In vain you &s;ue Sweet <HI>Jenny</HI> cry'd,</L>
<L>what e're you do is vain,</L>
<L>Another mu&s;t lye by my &s;ide,</L>
<L>'tis &s;o I'le tell you plain:</L>
<L>Ile tell you plain I'le lovh a good,</L>
<L>but 'tis not you I'le &s;ay,</L>
<L><HI>And do poor</HI> Iockey <HI>what he cou'd,</HI></L>
<L><HI>yet Jenny did &s;ay nay.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then <HI>Jockey</HI> to her Father went,</L>
<L>to &s;ee what he cou'd do,</L>
<L>And told him plainly what he meant,</L>
<L>how his poor heart did rue:</L>
<L>Cau&s;e <HI>Ienny</HI> was unkind he &s;aid</L>
<L>he o're the world would Stray,</L>
<L><HI>For do alas what e're he cou'd,</HI></L>
<L><HI>Yet Ienny &s;he &s;aid nay.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He offer'd Hou&s;e and Land and all,</L>
<L>With many Geud Geuds more,</L>
<L>So <HI>Jenny</HI> to his Lot might fall,</L>
<L>&s;he never &s;hould be poor:</L>
<L>With this temptation here he &s;ped,</L>
<L>and <HI>Jenny</HI> mu&s;t obey,</L>
<L><HI>And though at Kirk they &s;oon were Wed,</HI></L>
<L><HI>yet Jennys heart &s;aid nay.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>On <HI>Jockey</HI> &s;he'd no fancy &s;et,</L>
<L>though he did bu&s;s and Clip her,</L>
<L>She &s;till did wi&s;h they ne'r had met,</L>
<L>though he fall brave did keep her:</L>
<L>No Love for <HI>Jockey</HI> e're &s;he had,</L>
<L>her thoughts el&s;e where obey,</L>
<L><HI>In &s;pight of all poor</HI> Iockey <HI>cou'd,</HI></L>
<L><HI>fair Jenny went a&s;tray.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>For why a Lu&s;ty Lad &s;he lov'd,</L>
<L><HI>Tall Sawny</HI> he by Name,</L>
<L>Fair <HI>Jenny</HI> often after prov'd,</L>
<L>unto her Fathers &s;hame:</L>
<L>Who cur&s;ing the unlucky Mood,</L>
<L>that made him fir&s;t give way,</L>
<L><HI>Poor Jenny <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="pdcc" EXTENT="1 letter">gain&s;t her will to Wed,</HI></L>
<L><HI>and make her go a&s;tray.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Did pine him&s;elf full &s;oon to death,</L>
<L>and <HI>Jockey</HI> griev'd likewi&s;e,</L>
<L>A Hempen Noo&s;e puts o're his head,</L>
<L>and like a Woodcock dies;</L>
<L>Then Parents in no cruel Mood,</L>
<L>force Children to obey,</L>
<L><HI>In Loves great cau&s;e it is not good,</HI></L>
<L><HI>to force when they &s;ay nay.</HI></L>
