<LG>
<L>NOw I pray you attend, to the Lines that are penn'd,</L>
<L>Which abroad to the World we in merriment &s;end;</L>
<L>It is ab&s;olute new, and they &s;ay it is true,</L>
<L>Th<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">refore li&s;ten a while unto what &s;hall in&s;ue:</L>
<L>A young, Gallan<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter"> of Fame to a Friend's Hou&s;e he came,</L>
<L>Where he &s;ent for a fair and young beautyful Dame.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When her Charms he beheld he with Raptures was fill'd,</L>
<L>Yet altho he in Courting was very well Skill'd</L>
<L>His fine Amourus Tale could in no wi&s;e prevail,</L>
<L>For without Half a Peice of his Joys he &s;hould fail:</L>
<L>Like a Lady of State &s;he had told him the Rate,</L>
<L>And this done, not a Penny or Farthing &s;he'd Bait.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Half a Peice is too much for a poor &s;ingle touch,</L>
<L>Therefore pray u&s;e a Con&s;cience, for faith I do grutch</L>
<L>To give more than a Crown for a bit of the Brown,</L>
<L>I can have it for le&s;s of the Girls of the Town:</L>
<L>Therefore make not this fu&s;s, and &s;tand &s;cruing me thus,</L>
<L>For a light Gain they &s;ay makes a rich golden Pur&s;e.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If a Lady you lack, Sir, I &s;tand to my tack,</L>
<L>For I'll have you to know I am no common Crack,</L>
<L>That for Six pence or le&s;s will their kindne&s;s expre&s;s,</L>
<L>You may &s;ee that I go in a rich &s;ilken Dre&s;s,</L>
<L>Paint with powdered Hair and black Patches I wear,</L>
<L>Which cannot be maintain'd with that Price I declare.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Pry'the be not &s;o nice, 'tis a very good Price,</L>
<L>And thou knows very well 'twill be earn'd in a trice:</L>
<L>Therefore do not deny, but with rea&s;on comply,</L>
<L>And perhaps for my Jewel a Cornet I'll buy.</L>
<L>But the An&s;wer &s;he gave, You mu&s;t give what I crave</L>
<L>'Tis in vain to di&s;pute, for ten &s;hillings I'll have.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When he found her &s;o &s;tout, he began to fall out,</L>
<L>And, as &s;ome &s;ays, he threaten'd to Kick her about:</L>
<L>Since her price &s;he'd not <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="2 letters">ait, faith his Love turn'd to hate,</L>
<L>And he threaten'd to Call for an Officer &s;trait:</L>
<L>If you will have full Ten, I will puni&s;h you then</L>
<L>That can be &s;o hard-hearted and Cruel to Men.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now the Lady Reply'd, in regard you'r deny'd,</L>
<L>Can you be &s;o uncivil your Friend to Deride?</L>
<L>Yes, I will then, he &s;wore: And, Mi&s;s, what is more,</L>
<L>Some good Ju&s;tice of Peace you &s;hall now go before,</L>
<L>To Receive the Reward that the Law will afford,</L>
<L>Streight with Tears in her Eyes &s;he his pity implor'd.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Di&s;grace I do fear, therefore let me go clear,</L>
<L>And my Scarf with Five Shillings, I'll render you here,</L>
<L>Had I here &s;o much more, I would pa<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">t with my &s;tore,</L>
<L>For, alas! I was never &s;o fitted before.</L>
<L>Then he pity'd her Ca&s;e, and would hide the di&s;grace,</L>
<L>And without more to do they departed the place.</L>
