<L>WHere's my Shepherd (my love) hey-ho,</L>
<L>On yonder Mountain amid&s;t the Snow;</L>
<L>I dearly love him I vow, and now,</L>
<L>will follow, and merrily to him go:</L>
<L>My young Shepherd has Beauty and Charms</L>
<L>And I long to find him in my arms,</L>
<L>I long for Night, to Embrace him a Bed,</L>
<L>And I long to give him my Maiden-head.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Soft and &s;weet are the joys of Love,</L>
<L>Which every Virgin does long to prove,</L>
<L>I will not tarry, but Marry,</L>
<L>and every Rival will &s;oon remove:</L>
<L>Bonny <HI>Su&s;an</HI> does mu&s;e on all night,</L>
<L>Vpon all our joys and &s;weet delight,</L>
<L>She dreams of Ki&s;&s;es, Embraces, and charms,</L>
<L>And &s;he &s;tarts, and thinks my love in her arms</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Sweetly looks the fair Bride in Bed,</L>
<L>With thou&s;and <HI>Cupids</HI> all round her head,</L>
<L>She &s;oftly &s;ighs, and wi&s;hes, and Ki&s;&s;es,</L>
<L>as &s;oon as the Curtains are clo&s;ely &s;pread:</L>
<L>Every Bridegroom does then what he plea&s;e,</L>
<L>And the lovely Brides their flames appea&s;e,</L>
<L>I need not name what young Lovers do do,</L>
<L>For 'tis known to every one, I and to you.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Mark how kindly &s;he looks next day,</L>
<L>More lively, lovely, more brisk and gay,</L>
<L>'Twould make maids long to be cooing &amp; wooing</L>
<L>to &s;ee how the&s;e wantons do &s;port &amp; play:</L>
<L>Some new charm in his looks &s;he e&s;pies,</L>
<L>And then he looks Babies in her eyes;</L>
<L>Then while her fondling new plea&s;ures does &s;eek</L>
<L>She kindly ki&s;&s;es and claps his cheek.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Vain it is to be nice and coy,</L>
<L>And let old Time all our youth de&s;troy,</L>
<L>I like not Whining and pining,</L>
<L>for that which one ea&s;ily mightly enjoy;</L>
<L>There are bonny, brisk lovers in &s;tore,</L>
<L>And then what can Maidens wi&s;h for more,</L>
<L>What need has <HI>Su&s;an</HI> to &s;igh and look pale,</L>
<L>When &s;he might o're <HI>Thomas</HI> his heart prevail.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Have not Women &s;oft charms and Arts,</L>
<L>By Nature given to conquer hearts,</L>
<L>Which never does fail, but prevail,</L>
<L>as often as ever they &s;hoot their Darts;</L>
<L>No brisk youth can with&s;tand a Maids charms</L>
<L>But does &s;trangely &s;often in her Arms,</L>
<L>The Roughe&s;t Hero in all the bright field,</L>
<L>To a brighter Beauty will bow and yield,</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now young buxom fair Maids come here,</L>
<L>And learn this Le&s;&s;on (to Love give ear)</L>
<L>The little Boy is &s;o pritty and witty,</L>
<L>and plea&s;ant and &s;oft, that you need not fear:</L>
<L><HI>Roger</HI> he &s;hall have <HI>Ci&s;ley</HI> and <HI>Nan,</HI></L>
<L>And young <HI>Kate</HI> &s;hall ki&s;s my Ladies Man,</L>
<L><HI>Doll</HI> &s;hall have <HI>William,</HI> &amp; <HI>Iohn</HI> &s;hall have <HI>Ione,</HI></L>
<L>And thus neither Sex shall lye alone,</L>
