<L>he has cau&s;e to repent.</L>

<L>His Me&s;s-Mates and he</L>
<L>did together agree</L>
<L>To go to the Tavern</L>
<L>&s;ome pa&s;time to &s;ee,</L>
<L>Where he met with a la&s;s</L>
<L>that &s;o plea&s;ed his mind</L>
<L>That he vowed unto her</L>
<L>he'd be loving and kind.</L>
</LG>

<L>This maid being willing</L>
<L>together they went.</L>
<L>Where &s;ome howrs in plea&s;ure</L>
<L>together they &s;pent,</L>
<L>But at la&s;t all the Creame</L>
<L>of the je&s;t will appear</L>
<L>When this couple in private</L>
<L>together was there.</L>

<LG>
<L>He kindly imbrac'd her</L>
<L>and thus to her &s;aid</L>
<L>I greatly do fear</L>
<L>that thou wilt dye a maid;</L>
<L>Now I am re&s;olved</L>
<L>what ever betide</L>
<L>If thou art but willing</L>
<L>to make thee my Bride.</L>
