<L>Yea and nay, he was a <HI>Quaker,</HI></L>
<L>yet he us'd the tricks of youth.</L>
<L>On a day it chanced &s;o.</L>
<L>He would to his Neighbour go,</L>
<L>When her Husband want within,</L>
<L>This di&s;cour&s;e he did begin,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">

<LG>
<L>Love let me have my Hearts de&s;ire,</L>
<L>wherefore &s;hould&s;t thou &s;ay me nay;</L>
<L>Beauty &s;ets my Heart on fire,</L>
<L>little Lambs thou know&s;t will play:</L>
<L>Since I have my love reveal'd,</L>
<L>Prithee deare&s;t do but yield,</L>
<L>I will be a con&s;tant friend,</L>
<L>When I cannot come I'le &s;end,</L>

<L>The Woman then with mode&s;t blu&s;hes,</L>
<L>in a pa&s;&s;ion &s;he revil'd;</L>
<L>But the <HI>Quaker</HI> often Hu&s;hes,</L>

<L>She found he would not be contented,</L>
<L>no denyal would he take,</L>

<LG>
<L>He thought &s;he had the truth related,</L>
<L>&s;eeing &s;he had told him when;</L>
<L>Therefore home he went and waited,</L>
<L>thinking every hour ten,</L>
<L>To her Husband &s;he did tell,</L>

<L>To enjoy what he de&s;ir'd,</L>
<L>of this fair and comely Dame,</L>
<L>When he was come in the room,</L>
<L>Pre&s;ently he did pre&s;ume</L>

<L>Yea and nay was almo&s;t naked,</L>
<L>when with two &s;tout rods of Birch.</L>
<L>He did la&s;h both Leggs and Hips,</L>
<L>Round the room he <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">ips and skips,</L>
