<L><HI>Doll</HI> hath got nothing, but <HI>Moll</HI> a &s;ilk Gown;</L>
<L><HI>Dolly</HI> was hand&s;ome, though peevi&s;h and coy,</L>
<L>But <HI>Molly</HI> was buxome and free to enjoy.</L>

<LG>
<L><HI>Dolly</HI> and <HI>Molly</HI> they went to <HI>White-Hall,</HI></L>
<L><HI>Dolly</HI> got nothing, but <HI>Molly</HI> got all;</L>
<L><HI>Dolly</HI> &s;he &s;corn'd to have a Gallant,</L>

<L><GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1 word"> <HI>Dolly</HI> and <HI>Molly</HI> were walking neer th' Court,</L>
<L><GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1+ letters"> young&s;ter with <HI>Dolly</HI> began for to &s;port;</L>

<L>When <HI>Dolly</HI> refus'd him, to <HI>Molly</HI> he went,</L>
<L>For one of the two to enjoy he was bent,</L>
<L>He ask'd her a Que&s;tion which made her to &s;mile,</L>
<L>Then a ki&s;s and a Guinney did <HI>Molly</HI> beguile.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He took her a&s;ide and he pleas'd her &s;o well,</L>
<L>That <HI>Mally</HI> con&s;ented with him for to dwell,</L>
<L>There's nothing on earth that's to <HI>Mally</HI> deny'd,</L>
<L>Her humour to plea&s;e, and to pamper her pride.</L>

<LG>
<L>He gave her fine cloaths, and all things of th be&s;t&punc;</L>
<L>Becau&s;e that her delicate body he pre&s;t,</L>
<L>Her countrey &s;peech did &s;o heighten his charms,</L>

<L>Now <HI>Mally</HI> is rich, and <HI>Dolly</HI> is poor,</L>
<L>But <HI>Dolly</HI> is hone&s;t, though <HI>Mally's</HI> a Whore;</L>
<L><HI>Doll</HI> &s;aid 'twas a plea&s;ure to be mode&s;t and coy,</L>
<L>But <HI>Mall</HI> &s;wore 'twas plea&s;anter for to enjoy.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Quoth <HI>Mally</HI> to <HI>Dolly,</HI> i'de have thee be wi&s;e,</L>
<L>You'l never get any thing if you are nice;</L>
<L>Ob&s;erve but what &s;tate I do live in, and then</L>
<L>You'l &s;urely learn to be kinder to men.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Oh <HI>Dolly</HI> the plea&s;ures of Love are &s;o &s;weet,</L>
<L>When with equal de&s;ire together we meet:</L>
<L>That nothing on earth can compare with that bli&s;s</L>
<L>Be&s;ides 'tis an honour to be call'd a fine Mi&s;s.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus <HI>Mally</HI> tempts <HI>Dolly</HI> to go to the &s;port,</L>
<L>And about her brave Gallants begin to re&s;ort:</L>
<L>For <HI>Dolly</HI> was hand&s;ome in countrey gray,</L>
<L>And was far more tempting then tho&s;e that were gay.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Says <HI>Dolly</HI> to <HI>Mally</HI> 'twixt anger and &s;corn,</L>
<L>Oh <HI>Mally</HI> you'l wi&s;h you had never been born;</L>
<L>Tho&s;e immode&s;t plea&s;ures which you &s;o commend,</L>
<L>Will bring you to &s;orrow and &s;hame in the end.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus <HI>Dolly</HI> and <HI>Mally</HI> could never agree,</L>
<L><HI>Mally</HI> had Gallants more then two or three,</L>
<L>She traded with all that had &s;ilver and gold,</L>
<L>Till at length like Town-Mi&s;s &s;he grew bawdy &amp; bold.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>'Twas <HI>Dolly's</HI> good luck a place for to get,</L>
<L>To wait on a Lady who&s;e fortune was great,</L>
<L>Accounting it better a &s;ervant to be,</L>
<L>Then a Lady of plea&s;ure of the high <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1+ letters"> degree.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This <HI>Dolly</HI> was pritty and cleanly and neat,</L>
<L>Her body well &s;hap'd, not to &s;mall nor too great:</L>
<L>Her Mi&s;tris &s;he pleas'd, and behav'd her &s;elf well,</L>
<L>That <HI>Dolly</HI> mo&s;t happily with her did dwell.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now <HI>Dolly</HI> is got into all peoples favour,</L>
<L>&amp; many young Shopkeepers &s;trive for to have her;</L>
<L>But <HI>Doll</HI> put them off with a mode&s;t reply;</L>
<L>Saying, Sirs I'am re&s;olved a Maiden to dye.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But at la&s;t the coy Virgin was &s;trook with loves d<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1 letter">rt</L>
<L>Little Cupid hath wounded poor <HI>Dolly</HI> to'th heart,</L>

<L>That <HI>Dolly</HI> no longer knew how to deny.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then marri'd they were, having all friends con&s;ent</L>
<L>And happily live, to each others content;</L>
<L>She proves a kind Wife, and a good Husband he,</L>
<L>Then what greater ble&s;&s;ing on earth can there be?</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But <HI>Mally</HI> de&s;pis'd her and call'd her young &s;lut,</L>
<L>Saying, <HI>Dolly</HI> there's more ways then one to go to't</L>
<L>I'le take my delight with the blades of the times,</L>
<L>Such plea&s;ures as tho&s;e without doubt are no crimes</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But a little while after &s;uch was her mi&s;hap,</L>
<L>Poor <HI>Mally</HI> had got a mo&s;t de&s;perate Clap.</L>
<L>Her Gallants for&s;ook her and le&s;t her forlorn,</L>
<L>Crying out, you foul Whore we your company &s;corn</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now <HI>Mally's</HI> di&s;tre&s;&s;ed, and the pain mu&s;t endure,</L>
<L>She flyes to a Quack her di&s;temper to cure;</L>
<L>But <HI>Dolly</HI> lives bravely, and her wit I commend,</L>
<L>For hone&s;ty always will thrive in</L>
