<L>ONce did I love an a bonny bonny Bird,</L>
<L>thinking that he had been my own;</L>
<L>But he lov'd another far better then I,</L>
<L>&amp; he has taken his flight, &amp; he's flown, <HI>brave boyes</HI></L>
<L><HI>and he has taken his flight and he's flown.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Up the gr&eacute;en Forre&s;t, &amp; down the gr&eacute;en Forre&s;t,</L>
<L>like one much de&s;tre&s;&s;ed in mind,</L>
<L>I hoopt and I hoopt, and I flung up my Hood,</L>
<L>but my bonny Bird I could not find, <HI>brave boys</HI></L>
<L><HI>but my bonny Bird, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But &s;he that hath gotten my bonny bonny Bird;</L>
<L>would the Devil had had her for me,</L>
<L>It was not a Crown, nor a Noble &s;o round,</L>
<L>that &s;hould have bought my bonny Bird from me, <HI>brave boyes.</HI></L>
<L><HI>that &s;hould have, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He &s;et me upon his di&s;&s;embling knee</L>
<L>and looked me all in the face,</L>
<L>He gave unto me and a <HI>Judas</HI> Ki&s;s,</L>
<L>but his heart was in another place, <HI>brave boyes,</HI></L>
<L><HI>but his heart was, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>She that hath gotten my bonny bonney Bird,</L>
<L>let her make as much of't as &s;he can;</L>
<L>For whether I have him, or I have him not,</L>
<L>I will quaff with him now and than, <HI>brave boys</HI></L>
<L><HI>I will quaff, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He told me he lov'd me far better then all</L>
<L>the riche&s;t Temptations i'th world,</L>
<L>Then Trea&s;ure or Mony, he cal'd me his Hony;</L>
<L>but now from his heart I am hurld, <HI>brave boys</HI></L>
<L><HI>but now, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He could not indure to be out of my &s;ight,</L>
<L>he lov'd me like Silver or Gold;</L>
<L>His bloud was on fire with the flames of de&s;ire,</L>
<L>but I find his hot love was &s;oon cold, <HI>brave boys</HI></L>
<L><HI>but I find, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>His tongue was &s;o tip'd with Temptations that I</L>
<L>could have &s;uffer'd him (without controul)</L>
<L>To have done what he wou'd &amp; have humor'd his bloud,</L>
<L>had the venture b&eacute;en body and &s;oul, <HI>brave boyes</HI></L>
<L><HI>had the venture been, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And now he requites me with &s;corn and disdain,</L>
<L>&s;ome other hath got him from me;</L>
<L>But let her take heed, at the la&s;t how &s;he &s;p&eacute;ed,</L>
<L>lea&s;t a third do prove better then &s;h&eacute;e <HI>brave boys</HI></L>
<L><HI>lea&s;t a third, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>One Man for one Maid, the Creator hath made,</L>
<L>he that hath more, hath more then his due;</L>
<L>Sure two is to many, he'l never love any,</L>
<L>for twenty Maids will be too few, <HI>brave boyes.</HI></L>
<L><HI>for twenty, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Tho&s;e Virgins that take him, I think are &s;tark mad,</L>
<L>for he that proves fal&s;e unto one</L>
<L>That loved him like life will be fal&s;e to his wife</L>
<L>I have cau&s;e to be glad that he's gone, <HI>brave boyes.</HI></L>
<L><HI>I have cau&s;e,</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Witchcraft of love, is enough to undoe</L>
<L>the hearts of poore credulous Creatures,</L>
<L>My freedom to me, is far &s;weeter then he;</L>
<L>for Freedom is &s;ofter then Fetters, <HI>brave boys.</HI></L>
<L><HI>for Freedom is, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If he had continu'd he might'a had all,</L>
<L>his Carriage and Wit was &s;o brave;</L>
<L>Although he had like to have given me a fall,</L>
<L>yet the Iewel of Iewels I have, <HI>brave boyes.</HI></L>
<L><HI>yet the Jewel of, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Which &s;till I will keep from &s;uch Gam&s;ters as he,</L>
<L>by &s;uch I will ne're be betray'd;</L>
<L>My Portion &s;hall be, my Virginity,</L>
<L>'tis Dowry enough for a Maid, <HI>brave boyes.</HI></L>
<L><HI>'tis Dowry, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I'le Swagger and Rant, &amp; Ile nere think upon't,</L>
<L>but bring Willow Garlands in fa&s;hon;</L>
<L>Although for my part, my own merry heart</L>
<L>&s;hall turn Willow into Cornation, <HI>brave boyes</HI></L>
<L><HI>&s;hall turn, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
