<L>A Souldier from <HI>Flanders</HI> he Travell'd of late,</L>
<L>and here in the City of <HI>London</HI> did lye,</L>
<L>And happen'd to meet with bonny brisk <HI>Kate,</HI></L>
<L>a La&s;s with a delicate rouling Eye:</L>
<L>She chuckt the Souldier under the Chin,</L>
<L>&s;he being youthful brisk and airy,</L>
<L>And &s;aid if thou wilt my favour win,</L>
<L>then come Boy, come Boy, let's be merry:</L>
<L>Come Boy, come Boy, beat upon my Drum Boy,</L>
<L>fain wou'd I &s;ee how thou can'&s;t Tabor,</L>
<L>Do what ye can, hone&s;t <HI>John,</HI> like a Man,</L>
<L>and I'll reward you for your labour.</L>

<L>I never could Tabor a Drum, I declare,</L>
<L>tho' long I have Marched in <HI>Flanders</HI> in Spain,</L>
<L>A Musket I &s;till on my Shoulders did bear,</L>
<L>when ever I follow'd the Warlike-Train:</L>
<L>The Dam&s;el immediately thus reply'd,</L>
<L>if thou art a Soldier draw out thy Rapier,</L>
<L>Thy Courage and Valour with me &s;hall be try'd,</L>
<L>Draw then draw I'll make you caper:</L>
<L>Draw Boy, draw Boy, 'teent again&s;t the Law Boy</L>
<L>for if I do but once come near you:</L>
<L>Tis my delight, for to &s;ight, though by night,</L>
<L>come on, brave Souldier, I'll not fear you.</L>

<L>He drew out his Rapier and to her did run;</L>
<L>as &s;oon as &s;he &s;aw it young <HI>Kate</HI> got a fall,</L>
<L>But yet there ala&s;s was no prejudice done,</L>
<L>&s;he &s;till for a clo&s;er encounter did call:</L>
<L>Ju&s;t when he thought he had gotten the day,</L>
<L>her courage &amp; &s;trength did &s;till grow &s;tronger,</L>
<L>So that &s;he &s;till &s;how'd him delicate play,</L>
<L>till he, till he could &s;trive no longer:</L>
<L>Longer, longer, not a Minute longer,</L>
<L>thus was he conquer'd by a Beauty,</L>
<L>She got the day, as they &s;ay, in the fray,</L>
<L>and vow'd that &s;he'd make him know his Duty.</L>

<L>She turn'd to the Souldier and gave him a &s;mile,</L>
<L>and &s;aid was you e're &s;o beaten before,</L>
<L>I am not like tho&s;e that will parly a while,</L>
<L>but conquer without any Cannons that roar:</L>
<L>At this the Soldier was &s;traight in a rage,</L>
<L>re&s;olving his Forces again to rally,</L>
<L>That he with young beautiful <HI>Kate</HI> might ingage,</L>
<L>in vain, in vain, it was to dally,</L>
<L>Dally, dally, never would he dally,</L>
<L>nor would he yield on no condition;</L>
<L>She held him too't, he did &s;hoot, the di&s;pute</L>
<L>held while he'd &s;pent his Ammunition.</L>

<L>Now his Bandileers being empty at la&s;t,</L>
<L>&s;o that he no longer could &s;tand the Field,</L>
<L>He would have been running but &s;he held him fa&s;t</L>
<L>&s;o that he was forc'd to &s;ubmit and yield:</L>
<L>Though often he fought in the Field of <HI>Mars,</HI></L>
<L>where Cannons had roard like claps of thunder,</L>
<L>At length by a Beautiful Country La&s;s,</L>
<L>he was &s;ubdu'd and &s;oon brought under:</L>
<L>Under, under, yet it was no wonder,</L>
<L>being no more than what is common:</L>
<L>Tho&s;e that have fought, many Enemies &s;tout,</L>
<L>at length have been conquer'd by a Woman.</L>
