<L>WHen <HI>Tommy</HI> became fir&s;t a Lover,</L>
<L>his <HI>Nanny</HI> &s;o fir'd ev'ry part,</L>
<L>That poor <HI>Tommy</HI>'s eyes did di&s;cover</L>
<L>the Conque&s;t &s;he made of his heart:</L>
<L>Ah! <HI>Nanny,</HI> quoth he, be not cruel,</L>
<L>rever&s;e that ill fate of your mind,</L>
<L>Who Nature ordain'd for a jewel,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>&s;hould never be fair and unkind:</HI></L>
<L><HI>Ah!</HI> Nanny, <HI>quoth he &amp;c,</HI></L>

<L>Were all tho&s;e plump &s;miling Graces,</L>
<L>that delicate &s;upple white skin,</L>
<L>That &s;eems to di&s;oul in the Embraces,</L>
<L>and would force a Senick to Sin:</L>
<L>Were the&s;e my dear <HI>Nanny,</HI> be&s;tow'd thee</L>
<L>to keep a perver&s;e peevi&s;h mind;</L>
<L>Or to ble&s;s thy dear <HI>Tommy</HI> that loves thee,</L>

<L>The hopes of tho&s;e Ivory Pillows,</L>
<L>to repo&s;e my poor head on at night,</L>
<L>Secures me from all Fortunes Billows,</L>
<L>or ought that can Nature affright:</L>
<L>There's nothing but <HI>Nanny</HI> can plea&s;e me,</L>
<L>to <HI>Nanny</HI> my Soul is confin'd,</L>
<L>No, nothing but <HI>Nanny</HI> can ea&s;e me,</L>

<L><HI>then</HI> Nanny <HI>dear</HI> Nanny <HI>be kind;</HI></L>
<L><HI>Then's nothing &amp;c.</HI></L>

<LG>
<L>In <HI>Nannys</HI> dear &s;ight I have angui&s;h,</L>
<L>which Blu&s;hes proclaim in my face,</L>
<L>And out of her &s;ight I do langui&s;h,</L>
<L>to think who po&s;&s;e&s;&s;es my place:</L>
<L>Ah! <HI>Nanny,</HI> no more let me leave thee,</L>
<L>but both be together confin'd,</L>
<L>And of all my fears undeceive me,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>and for ever for ever be kind:</HI></L>
<L><HI>Ah!</HI> Nanny, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Ah! <HI>Nanny,</HI> you told me you lov'd me,</L>
<L>and bid me no more to tomplain,</L>
<L>And when I have &s;igh'd have reprov'd me,</L>
<L>and ki&s;t me, and vow'd it a Game,</L>
<L>You told me that Fortune &s;hould never</L>
<L>di&s;poyl what your Soul had de&s;ign'd,</L>
<L>That you would be <HI>Tommys</HI> for ever,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>and for ever to</HI> Tommy <HI>be kind:</HI></L>
<L><HI>You told, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Remember dear <HI>Nanny,</HI> you &s;aid it,</L>
<L>and call'd all the Gods to atte&s;t,</L>
<L>And blu&s;hing to think that you did it,</L>
<L>you laid your face clo&s;e to my Brea&s;t:</L>
<L>Remember how dearly I ble&s;t ye,</L>
<L>and beg'd ne'r to alter your mind,</L>
<L>Remember how often you ki&s;t me,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>and vow'd you would alwayes be kind:</HI></L>
<L><HI>Remember how &amp;c,</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But now cruel <HI>Nanny</HI> has left me,</L>
<L>and owns me no more for her own,</L>
<L>And of all my joys has bereft me,</L>
<L>and turn'd all my hopes to di&s;pair:</L>
<L>That <HI>Nanny</HI> that once had &s;o loving:</L>
<L>obliedging, &s;o gentle a mind,</L>
<L>That <HI>Nanny</HI> of all Creatures moving,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>Is now perjur'd, fal&s;e, and unkind;</HI></L>
<L><HI>That</HI> Nanny, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>What tho' my dear <HI>Nanny</HI> be cruel,</L>
<L>and nothing her fancy can move,</L>
<L>Yet <HI>Nanny</HI> mu&s;t &s;till be my jewel,</L>
<L>and all that my Soul can love:</L>
<L>Perhaps 'tis no alter of Nature,</L>
<L>bu only for Rea&s;ons Confin'd,</L>
<L>So lovely &s;o pritty a Creature,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>can never prove fal&s;e and unkind.</HI></L>
