<L>THis twenty years and more that I</L>
<L>have liv'd a &s;ingle life,</L>
<L>Wanting a youngmans company,</L>
<L>and can't be made a Wife.</L>
<L>Oh! could I find &s;ome brisk young Lad</L>
<L>one bout with me to try,</L>
<L>Twould ea&s;e my heart that now is &s;ad,</L>

<L>Vnfortunate indeed am I,</L>
<L>unmarried to remain,</L>
<L>Ten thou&s;and &s;ighs at lea&s;t have I</L>
<L>&s;pent, &s;ent, b<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">t all in vain,</L>

<LG>
<L>Had I ten thou&s;and pounds in Gold,</L>
<L>I'd give it for a touch,</L>
<L>Or Iewels, more than e're were &s;old,</L>
<L>I'd think them not too much.</L>
<L>But freely I would give them all</L>
<L>to ea&s;e my Mallady,</L>

<L>by ta&s;ting of the fle&s;h.</L>
<L>Come, come with &s;peed and do the deed</L>
<L>or el&s;e for love I dye,</L>

<L>Was ever any loving Girls,</L>
<L>like me left in di&s;tre&s;s,</L>
<L>The thing which &s;ome do count a Pearl</L>
<L>there's nothing I love le&s;s.</L>
<L>My Maiden-head I do not e&s;teem,</L>
<L>would it were gone &s;ay I,</L>

<L>There's not a La&s;s I do believe</L>
<L>in Country or in City,</L>
<L>That wanting man did &s;o much grieve,</L>
<L>and yet did find le&s;s pitty,</L>
<L>My very &s;heets each night I knaw,</L>

</LG>
<LG>
<L>Twere better I had been unborn,</L>
<L>then &s;uch a life to live,</L>
<L>That young men all both great and &s;mall</L>
<L>deny relief to give.</L>
<L>By Nature I am not &s;o foule</L>
<L>or &s;hapele&s;s to the Eye,</L>
<L>Then give &s;ome ea&s;e to this di&s;ea&s;e,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>and hey boys down ile lye.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Such wanton thoughts po&s;&s;e&s;s my mind</L>
<L>by night and eke by day,</L>
<L>That &s;ometimes I am half inclin'd</L>
<L>to make my &s;elf away.</L>
<L>Then I the&s;e thoughts do check again,</L>
<L>in time I hope &s;ay I,</L>
<L>May find a friend that may extend</L>

<L>As yet I haple&s;s do remain,</L>
<L>and quite bereav'd of hope,</L>
<L>Were I in either <HI>France</HI> or <HI>Spain,</HI></L>
<L>ide ask leave of the Pope.</L>
<L>That I might Trade with &s;ome young blade</L>
<L>he could not me deny,</L>
<L>Then &s;hould I be from Torment free,</L>
