<L>Here I will give you a perfect Relation,</L>
<L>Of a youngfemale that liv'd near New Crane</L>
<L>Who us'd to ramble for her Recreation,</L>
<L>though her poor Husband did &s;igh &amp; complain</L>
<L>Who was it &s;eems a young hone&s;t poor Taylor,</L>
<L>which was not able to give her content;</L>
<L>At length &s;he met with a jolly Kri&s;h Sailor,</L>
<L>and to a Tabern they lovingly went.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>My deare&s;t Creature, &s;aid he, I had rather</L>
<L>I have thee, than any fair Lady, I know;</L>
<L>Therefore this night we will both lodge together,</L>
<L>home to the Tailor my Dear &s;hall not go:</L>
<L>We will enjoy all the raptures of plea&s;ure,</L>
<L>a &s;weeter Creature &s;ure never was known;</L>
<L>I will endow thee with part my Trea&s;ure,</L>
<L>and let the Tailor this Night lye alone.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>As he the Charms of this Jilt did admire,</L>
<L>and e'ery beautifull Feature adore,</L>
<L>She did immediately grant his de&s;ire,</L>
<L>thinking there by for to ri&s;le his flore:</L>
<L>Said the I'll &s;etze all the Cargo about him,</L>
<L>and then his Courage will &s;urely be laid,</L>
<L>And down the Stairs I will &s;oon &s;teel without him</L>
<L>for it is rea&s;on I &s;hould be well paid.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Seaman never fear'd rock, wind, nor weather,</L>
<L>which the young Female the cunn&s;ngly &s;aw,</L>
<L>And as they both did &s;it drinking together,</L>
<L>out from his Fob &s;he his Guinea's did draw,</L>
<L>And the young Seaman he chanc'd to perceive her</L>
<L>yet not a title or word did he &s;ay:</L>
<L>Thought he, I now am re&s;olved to leave her</L>
<L>in &s;ad neration, before Morning-day.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>She had no &s;ooner laid hold of the Booty,</L>
<L>but down the Stairs &s;he was ready to go;</L>
<L>Said the young Seaman, my amorous Beauty,</L>
<L>we'll call the Drawer, it mu&s;t not be &s;o.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This Seaman called for &s;ome of Canary,</L>
<L>which was &s;ufficient to keep out the cold,</L>
<L>Thus for a while they were heartily merry,</L>
<L>for why? His pockets were lined with Gold,</L>
<L>Thus enterthanging their tender Embraces,</L>
<L>while in the Cavern together they &s;tay'd,</L>
<L>Still he admir'd her amorous Braces,</L>
<L>and like two Lovers together they play'd.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Seeing alas! &s;he could not be admitted,</L>
<L>again to drinking Canary they fell;</L>
<L>Certainly never was Women &s;o &s;itted,</L>
<L>oh! 'tis a &s;orrowfull Story to tell.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Their Lodging in the next Room has prepar<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="2 letters"></L>
<L>where the young Seaman &s;oon laid her a&s;e<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"></L>
<L>Tho' he with drinking was tir'd and wearied,</L>
<L>his Eyes from &s;lumber all night he did keep</L>
<L>And before Morning he &s;eiz'd on his Trea&s;ures</L>
<L>which to her pocket &s;he fairly convey'd:</L>
<L>Said he, Thou now &s;halt be plagu'd out of mea&s;t</L>
<L>a ju&s;t Erample of thee &s;hall be made.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Her &s;ilken Coats that was laid down with La<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="2 letters"></L>
<L>her &s;ower'd Town, with rich Cornet al&s;o,</L>
<L>This Seaman early next morning embraces,</L>
<L>and down the &s;tairs did immediately go:</L>
<L>Thus no Apparel alas! did he leave her,</L>
<L>whereby to rig her, when &s;he &s;hould awake,</L>
<L>Since &s;he did rob him, he vow'd to deceive her,</L>
<L>aboard on Ship &s;treight his way he did tak<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Mi&s;&s;ing her Gallant, ah! how &s;he lamented,</L>
<L>and for her Husband was forced to &s;end,</L>
<L>Wiho like an hone&s;t good Man was cantented,</L>
<L>&s;aying, &s;he want the fir&s;t that did offend:</L>
<L>It was along of this Ra&s;col the Sailor,</L>
<L>his Wife he then was unwilling to blame;</L>
<L>Now there is work for this hone&s;t poor Tailor,</L>
<L>to cloath and rig his young <HI>Jenny</HI> again.</L>
