<L>FArewel both Hauk and Hound,</L>
<L>farewel both Shaft and Bow:</L>
<L>Farewel all merry pa&s;times</L>
<L>and plea&s;ures on a row:</L>
<L>Farewel my be&s;t Beloved</L>
<L>in whom I put my tru&s;t</L>
<L>For it's neither grief nor &s;orrow</L>
<L>&s;hall harbour in my brea&s;t.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When I was in my prime</L>
<L>and in my youthful days,</L>
<L>Much mirth and merry pa&s;time</L>
<L>and plea&s;ure had always,</L>
<L>But now my mind is charged,</L>
<L>and alter'd very &s;ore,</L>
<L>Becau&s;e my be&s;t beloved</L>
<L>will fancy me no more.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I lov'd her, and I prov'd her,</L>
<L>and I call'd her my dear;</L>
<L>But alas my beloved</L>
<L>would not let me come near:</L>
<L>I often would have ki&s;t her,</L>
<L>but &s;he always &s;aid me nay.</L>
<L>More as ten times have I ble&s;t her</L>
<L>&s;ince that &s;he went away.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Tinkers they are Drunkards,</L>
<L>and Ma&s;ons they are blind,</L>
<L>And Boat-men they make Cuckolds;</L>
<L>becau&s;e they'r u&s;ed kind</L>
<L>But if you meet a bonny La&s;s</L>
<L>with black and rowling eyes,</L>
<L>You mu&s;t ki&s;s her and embrace her,</L>
<L>you may know the rea&s;on why.</L>

<LG>
<L>You mu&s;t hug her and ki&s;s her</L>
<L>and &s;trive to make her yield,</L>
<L>For a faint-hearted Soldier</L>
<L>did never gain the Field.</L>
<L>So &s;trive to lay her down there</L>
<L>and give the thing you know</L>
<L>And when that &s;he receives it,</L>
<L>&s;he'l be loath to let you go.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>There lives a VVife in <HI>Ca&s;tle Gate.</HI></L>
<L>but I'le not declare her name;</L>
<L>She is both brisk and buxome,</L>
<L>and fitted for the Game;</L>
<L>She can knip it &s;he can trip it,</L>
<L>as &s;he treads along the Plain;</L>
<L>Till &s;he meet &s;ome jolly Boat-man</L>
<L>that will turn her back again.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Her Husband is a quiet man,</L>
<L>and an hone&s;t man is he;</L>
<L>And for to wear the Horns &s;ir</L>
<L>contented he mu&s;t be:</L>
<L>He may wind them at his lei&s;ure</L>
<L>and do the be&s;t he can,</L>
<L>For his VVife will have her plea&s;ure</L>
<L>with a jolly Boat-man.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>At <HI>Pomfret</HI> Clock and Tower</L>
<L>there's Gold and Silver &s;tore;</L>
<L>I have therefore to find her,</L>
<L>and then brave boys we'l rore.</L>
<L>VVe'l drink Sherry and be merry,</L>
<L>we'l have beer and ale good &s;tore,</L>
<L>And drink to my La&s;s and thy La&s;s,</L>
<L>and all good La&s;&s;es more.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>My love &s;he is a fair one,</L>
<L>and a bonny one is &s;he:</L>
<L>Mo&s;t dearly do I love her,</L>
<L>her name is <HI>Mally.</HI></L>
<L>Her Cheeks are like the Ro&s;es,</L>
<L>that blo&s;&s;oms fre&s;h in <HI>June,</HI></L>
<L>O &s;he's like &s;ome new-&s;trung In&s;tru|ment</L>
<L>that's newly put in tune.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>O my <HI>Mally,</HI> my honey,</L>
<L>O can thou fancy me,</L>
<L>Then let us to bed ha&s;te,</L>
<L>where we will merry be.</L>
<L>For good Gold and Silver</L>
<L>for thee I'le take care</L>
<L>And for a large pairs of Horns</L>
<L>for thy Husband to wear.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L><HI>You</HI> young men and Batchelors</L>
<L>that hears this pritty Ie&s;t</L>
<L>Be not of the Opinion</L>
<L>this couple did profe&s;s,</L>
<L>But be kind to your wives,</L>
<L>and your &s;weet-hearts alway:</L>
<L>And God will protect you&punc;</L>
<L>by night and by day.</L>
