<L>YOU Friends to Reformation,</L>
<L>Give Ear to my Relation,</L>
<L>For I &s;hall now declare Sir,</L>
<L>Before you are aware Sir,</L>
<L>The matter very plain</L>
<L>The matter very plain</L>
<L>A Go&s;pel Cu&s;hion thumper,</L>
<L>Who dearly lov'd a Bumper,</L>
<L>And &s;omething el&s;e be&s;ide Sir,</L>
<L>If he is not bely'd Sir,</L>
<L>This was a holy Guide Sir,</L>
<L>For the Di&s;&s;enting Train.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And for to tell you truly,</L>
<L>His Fle&s;h was &s;o unruly</L>
<L>He cou'd not for his Life Sir,</L>
<L>Pa&s;s by the Draper's Wife Sir,</L>
<L>The Spirit was &s;o faint.</L>
<L>The Spirit was &s;o faint.</L>
<L>This jolly hand&s;ome <HI>Quaker,</HI></L>
<L>As he did overtake her,</L>
<L>She made his Mouth to Water,</L>
<L>And thought long to be at her,</L>
<L>Such Sin is no great matter,</L>
<L>Accounted by a <HI>Saint.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>(Says he) <HI>my pretty Creature,</HI></L>
<L><HI>Your charming hand&s;ome Feature,</HI></L>
<L><HI>Has &s;et me all on Fire</HI></L>
<L><HI>You know what I de&s;ire,</HI></L>
<L><HI>There is no harm in Love.</HI></L>
<L>Quoth &s;he, if that's your Notion,</L>
<L>To Preach up &s;uch Devotion,</L>
<L>Such hopeful Guides as you Sir,</L>
<L>Will half the World undo &s;ir,</L>
<L>A Halter is your due &s;ir,</L>
<L>If you &s;uch Tricks approve.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The <HI>Par&s;on</HI> &s;till more eager,</L>
<L>Than lu&s;tful Turk or Neger,</L>
<L>Took up her lower Garment,</L>
<L>And &s;aid there was no harm in't,</L>
<L>According to the Text,</L>
<L>For <HI>Solomon</HI> more Wi&s;er,</L>
<L>Than any dull advi&s;er,</L>
<L>Had many Hundred Mi&s;&s;es,</L>
<L>And why &s;hou'd &s;uch as this is,</L>
<L>Make you &s;o &s;adly vext.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The frighted Female <HI>Quaker.</HI></L>
<L>Perceiv'd what he wou'd make her,</L>
<L>Was forc'd to call the Watch in,</L>
<L>And &s;top what he was hatching,</L>
<L>To &s;poil the Light within,</L>
<L>To &s;poil the Light within.</L>
<L>They came to her A&s;&s;i&s;tance,</L>
<L>As &s;he did make Re&s;i&s;tance,</L>
<L>Again&s;t the <HI>Prie&s;t</HI> and <HI>Devil,</HI></L>
<L>The Actors of all Evil,</L>
<L>Who were &s;o grand uncivil,</L>
<L>To tempt a Saint to &s;in.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Par&s;on then confounded,</L>
<L>To &s;ee him&s;elf &s;urrounded,</L>
<L>With Mob and &s;turdy Watch-men,</L>
<L>Who&s;e Bu&s;ine&s;s 'tis to catch Men,</L>
<L>In leudne&s;s with a Punk,</L>
<L>In leudne&s;s with a Punk.</L>
<L>He made &s;ome faint Excu&s;es,</L>
<L>And all to hide Abu&s;es,</L>
<L>In taking up the Linen,</L>
<L>Again&s;t the Saints Opinion,</L>
<L>Within her &s;oft Dominion,</L>
<L>Alledging he was Drunk.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But tho' he feigned reeling,</L>
<L>They made him pay for feeling,</L>
<L>And Lugg'd him to a Pri&s;on,</L>
<L>To bring him to his Rea&s;on,</L>
<L>Which he had lo&s;t before,</L>
<L>Which he had lo&s;t before.</L>
<L>And thus we &s;ee how Preachers</L>
<L>That &s;hould be Go&s;pel-Teachers,</L>
<L>How they are &s;trangely blinded,</L>
<L>And are &s;o fle&s;hly minded,</L>
<L>Like Carnal Men inclined,</L>
<L>To lie with any Whore.</L>
