<L>MY own dear <HI>Nanny,</HI> my fair eyne,</L>
<L>my pritty &s;weet Creature, my Love,</L>
<L>Why, what is the matter, my dear eyne,</L>
<L>That <HI>Nanny</HI> will from me remove:</L>

<L>For awe ye do look &s;o demure,</L>
<L>And tho' ye will never confe&s;s it,</L>
<L><HI>Yet <HI>Willy</HI>'s a fau&s;e eyne i&s;e &s;ure.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Ah! <HI>Nanny,</HI> quo he, be not cruel,</L>
<L>But bani&s;h that Iealou&s;ie quite,</L>
<L>For <HI>Nanny</HI> was always my Iewel,</L>
<L>my joy and my anely delight:</L>
<L>Na mere, quo &s;he, prithee dear <HI>Willy,</HI></L>
<L>your flattery never will Cure,</L>

<L>bring <HI>Nanny</HI> to &s;toop to your lure,</L>
<L>Nor pitty ye, tha' ye're a dying,</L>
<L><HI>for <HI>Willy</HI>'s a fau&s;e eyne i&s;e &s;ure.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>AH! <HI>Nanny,</HI> pray tell the occa&s;ion,</L>
<L>why you will your <HI>Willy</HI> de&s;ert,</L>
<L>And if I can make no Eva&s;ion,</L>

<L>For <HI>Willy</HI> was never a Ranger,</L>
<L>nor nene can love <HI>Nanny</HI> mere truer,</L>
<L>But <HI>Gin</HI> &s;he will part for a Stranger,</L>
<L><HI>then <HI>Nanny</HI>'s a fau&s;e eyne i&s;e &s;ure.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Nay, <HI>Willy</HI> may talk for his Plea&s;ure,</L>
<L>but i&s;e may believe what I plea&s;e,</L>
<L>For <HI>Moggy</HI> I&s;e &s;ure is his Trea&s;ure,</L>
<L>and <HI>Nanny</HI> his onely di&s;ea&s;e:</L>
<L>How oft have I heard you to prai&s;e her,</L>
<L>and &s;ay that there none was like to her,</L>
<L>And &s;ware he was happy could plea&s;e her,</L>
<L><HI>nay <HI>Willy</HI>'s a fau&s;e eyne i&s;e &s;ure.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And have I not heard you with <HI>Sawney,</HI></L>
<L>di&s;cour&s;e, embrace, and to &s;mack,</L>
<L>And &s;een him to thru&s;t in his Tawney</L>
<L>rough hand down your Lilly-white back:</L>
<L>Ye know that I &s;aw this, my dear,</L>
<L>yet I never thought ye untruer,</L>
<L>This never occa&s;ion'd my fear,</L>
<L><HI>for <HI>Nanny</HI> was ju&s;t <HI>I</HI> was &s;ure.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Ah! prithee dear <HI>Willy</HI> forgive me,</L>
<L>And i&s;e ne'r be Iealous again,</L>
<L>'Twas onely my Love, you'l believe me,</L>
<L>and i&s;e had the wor&s;t of the pain:</L>
<L>And <HI>Willy</HI> &s;hall &s;till be my deare&s;t,</L>

<L><HI>for <HI>Willy</HI>'s nay fau&s;e eyne i&s;e &s;ure.</HI></L>
</LG>

<L>And we'l have a merry long day,</L>
<L>With all our Relations and Friends too,</L>
<L>and the Piper all Night he &s;hall play:</L>
<L>And thou &s;halt put on thy be&s;t Ierkin,</L>
<L>and I will put on my be&s;t quoi&s;e,</L>
<L>For my Mother will Brew a whole Firkin</L>
