<LG>
<L>Now I am &s;eventeen years of age,</L>
<L>methinks it is high time</L>
<L>Love's fiery pa&s;&s;ion to a&s;&s;wage,</L>
<L>now I am in my prime,</L>

<L>When <HI>Valentine</HI> the <HI>Vintener</HI> came</L>
<L>that hand&s;ome bonny Lad,</L>
<L>And to deny his fiery flame</L>
<L>I think I was quite mad:</L>

<L>Could I but now a Husband have,</L>
<L>how happy &s;hould I be,</L>
<L>O then &s;hould I be bri&s;k and brave,</L>
<L>and live in jollitry:</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>But the pangs of love doth me oppre&s;s,</HI></L>

<L><HI>to ta&s;te of Apple-py.</HI></L>

<L>Then <HI>John</HI> the <HI>Joyner</HI> came to me,</L>
<L>who&s;e charms were half divine;</L>
<L>He told me he could game&s;ome be,</L>
<L>and under&s;tood to joyn:</L>
<L>But alas I mu&s;t a husband have</L>
<L>that will both hug and ki&s;s,</L>
<L>El&s;e I &s;hall pine into my Grave</L>
<L>for want of hit and mi&s;s.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>At la&s;t a <HI>Taylor</HI> neat and fine,</L>
<L>with Bodkin and his Needle,</L>
<L>He came to gain tho love of mine,</L>
<L>but him I thought too feeble:</L>
<L>For I mu&s;t have a thundering lad</L>
<L>my pa&s;&s;ion to a&s;&s;ay,</L>
<L>Or el&s;e I &s;urely &s;hall go mad;</L>
<L>brisk Young&s;ters come away.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A bri&s;k young <HI>Cobler</HI> to me came,</L>
<L>who worked in a Stall;</L>
<L>He &s;aid he burnt with fiery flame,</L>
<L>but I did not like his Aul:</L>
<L>No, no, 'tis not a cobling fool</L>
<L>mu&s;t be a match for me,</L>
<L>For I ful well mu&s;t like his Toole</L>
<L>that mu&s;t my Husband be.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And after they were come and gone,</L>
<L>to me then came a <HI>Glover,</HI></L>
<L>He looked like a feeble one,</L>
<L>not fit to be a Lover:</L>
<L>At my denyal he look'd pale,</L>
<L>and a pa&s;&s;ion he was in;</L>
<L>I bid him hold his babling tale,</L>
<L>for he &s;hould not prick my skin.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But then the <HI>Black&s;mith</HI> to me came,</L>
<L>who&s;e &s;ight I did de&s;pi&s;e;</L>
<L>He lov'd, but I abhor'd the &s;ame,</L>
<L>tho' he for pitty crys:</L>
<L>Oh let me not the&s;e pains indure,</L>
<L>but grant to me &s;ome ea&s;e,</L>
<L>Except I can &s;ome help procure,</L>
<L>I die of Loves di&s;ea&s;e.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>At la&s;t the <HI>Sailor</HI> gent and neat</L>
<L>to me a wooing came;</L>
<L>And he I thought was mo&s;t compleat</L>
<L>to ea&s;e my fiery flame:</L>
<L>He gave to me &s;uch &s;weet di&s;cour&s;e</L>
<L>I could him not deny,</L>
<L>My &s;tubborn heart then felt remor&s;e,</L>
