<L>_ONe <HI>Evening</HI> a little before it was <HI>darke,</HI></L>
<L>Sing Tan tara rara Tan-tivvee,</L>
<L>I call'd for my <HI>Gelding,</HI> &amp; ride to <HI>Hide|parke</HI></L>
<L>One Tan tara rara Tan-tivvee:</L>
<L>It was in the motley Moneth of <HI>May,</HI></L>
<L>When <HI>Meadows</HI> and Fields were gaudy and Gay,</L>
<L>And <HI>Flowers</HI> were Apparell'd as bright as the day,</L>
<L>I got upon my Tan-tiwee.</L>

<L>The <HI>Parke</HI> &s;hone brighter then the <HI>Skies,</HI></L>
<L>Sing tan tara rara Tan-tivvee.</L>
<L>With Jewels, and Gold, and Ladies Eyes,</L>
<L>That &s;parkled, and cry'd, come &s;ee mee:</L>
<L>Of all Parts in <HI>England, Hide-Parke</HI> hath the name,</L>
<L>For Coaches and Hor&s;es, and <HI>Per&s;ons</HI> of Fame;</L>
<L>It look'd (at fir&s;t &s;ight) like a Field full of Flame,</L>
<L>Which made me ride up Tan-tivvee.</L>

<L>There hath not been &s;een &s;uch a &s;ight &s;ince <HI>Adam's,</HI></L>

<L>Or <HI>Lady-Faire,</HI> chu&s;e ye whether;</L>
<L>Their Gowns were a yeard too long for their Leggs,</L>
<L>They &s;hew'd like the <HI>Rain-bow</HI> cut into Raggs,</L>
<L>A <HI>Garden</HI> of Flowers, or a <HI>Navy</HI> of Flaggs,</L>
<L>When they did all mingle together.</L>

<L>Among&s;t all the&s;e <HI>Ladyes,</HI> I &s;ingled out <HI>One,</HI></L>
<L>To prattle of Love, and Folly:</L>
<L>I found her not coy, but jovial as <HI>Jone,</HI></L>
<L>Or <HI>Bette,</HI> or <HI>Marget,</HI> or <HI>Molly;</HI></L>
<L>With Honour, and Love, and Stories of Chances,</L>
<L>My Spirits did move, and my Blood &s;he advances,</L>
<L>With twenty <HI>Quonundrums</HI> and fifty five <HI>Fancies;</HI></L>

<L>We talkt away time, untill it grew darke,</L>
<L>The Place did begin to grow privvee;</L>
<L>For Gallants began to draw out of the <HI>Parke;</HI></L>
<L>Their Hor&s;es did gallopp Tan-tivve:</L>
<L>But finding my Courage a little to come,</L>
<L>I &s;ent my <HI>Bay-Gelding</HI> away by my <HI>Groome,</HI></L>
<L>And proffer'd my &s;ervice, to waite on her home:</L>
<L>In a Coach we want both Tan-tivvee.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="6">
<HEAD>6</HEAD>
<L>I offer'd and proffer'd, but found her &s;traight lac'd,</L>
<L>She cry'd, I &s;hall never beleeve ye:</L>
<L>This <HI>Armfull of Sattin,</HI> I bravely imbrac'd,</L>
<L>And fain would have been at Tan-tivvee:</L>
<L>Her Lodgings were plea&s;ant, for &s;cent and for &s;ight,</L>
<L>She &s;eem'd as an Angell by Candle-light,</L>
<L>And (like a bold <HI>Archer</HI>) I aym'd at the <HI>White;</HI></L>
<L>Tan-tivvee, tan-tivvee, tan-tivvee,</L>
</LG>
<LG N="7">
<HEAD>7</HEAD>
<L>With many denyalls, &s;he yeilded at la&s;t,</L>
<L>(Her Chamber being wondrous privie)</L>
<L>That I all the night there might have my repa&s;t,</L>
<L>To run at the <HI>Ring</HI> Tan-tivvee,</L>
<L>I put off my Cloathes, and I tumbled to bed,</L>
<L>She went in her <HI>Clo&s;&s;et</HI> to dre&s;s up her head,</L>
<L>But I peep'd in the key hole, to &s;ee what &s;hee did,</L>
<L>Which put me quite by Tan-tivvee.</L>

<LG N="8">
<HEAD>8</HEAD>
<L>She tooke of her head-tire and &s;hew'd her bald-pate</L>
<L>Her Cunning did very much grieve mee</L>
<L>Thought I to my &s;elf, if it were not &s;o late.</L>
<L>I would home to my <HI>Lodging</HI> beleeve me:</L>
<L>Her haire being gone &s;he &s;eemed a Hagg,</L>
<L>Her bald-pate did looke like an <HI>E&s;tritches</HI> Egg,</L>
<L>This Lady thought I, is as right as my legg,</L>
<L>She hath been too much at Tan-tivvee.</L>

<L>The more I did peep, the more I did &s;py,</L>
<L>VVhich did to a mazement drive mee,</L>
<L>She put up her finger, and out dropt an eye;</L>
<L>I pray'd that &s;ome Power would releeve mee;</L>
<L>But now my Re&s;olves were never to trouble <HI>her,</HI></L>
<L>Or venture my <HI>Carkais,</HI> with &s;uch a blind <HI>Hobler,</HI></L>
<L>She look'd (with one <HI>eye</HI>) ju&s;t like <HI>Hew&s;on the Cobber,</HI></L>

<L>I peep'd, and was &s;till more perplexed therewith,</L>

<L>She fetches a <HI>yawn,</HI> and out fell her <HI>Teeth;</HI></L>
<L>This <HI>Quean</HI> had intents to deceive mee:</L>
<L>She drew out her <HI>Handkercheif</HI> (as I &s;uppo&s;e)</L>
<L>To wipe her high <HI>forehead,</HI> and down dropps her <HI>No&s;e;</HI></L>
<L>Which made me run quickly, and pull on my <HI>Ho&s;e:</HI></L>

<L>She wa&s;h'd all the <HI>Paint</HI> from her <HI>vi&s;age,</HI> and then</L>
<L>She look'd ju&s;t (if you will beleeve mee)</L>
<L>Like a <HI>Lanca&s;hier Witch,</HI> of four &s;core and ten;</L>
<L>And I (as the Devill did drive mee)</L>
<L>I put on my Clothes, and cry'd <HI>Witches</HI> and <HI>Whores,</HI></L>
<L>I tumbled down <HI>&s;taires,</HI> and broak open the <HI>doores</HI></L>
