OR, The Man in the S------
Maids where are your hearts become look ye what here is.
Being a true Relation of a Pleasant Fellow that in the attire of a Woman lay with several
Maids, and got them with Child.
To the Tune of, Daniel Cooper.

A Lusty Lad there was of late,
that did himself disguise Sir,
Known by the Name of bonny K ate ,
this trick he did devise Sir:
To lye with melting-Maids all night,
but for a while did smother,
The flame that soon grew fierce & bright,
such force has Cupids Mother.

A Gown and Petticoat he wore,
and for a maid he passes,
A tender Maid that ne're knew more,
then raw-young Country Lasses:

That singing sit and milk their Cows,
whose pleasures are mee'r shaddows,
But he lov'd stroaking soft brown brows,
to milk the maids in meadows.

Among the maids there was a Lass,
that did the rest excell [si]r,
Whose Beauty Lillies [?] surpass,
whose Blushes Roses [t]ell Sir:
She burn'd, but bashful shame and f[ear]
did hinder her desire,
Yet often sigh'd for her youn[g] [d]ear
and fann'd young Cupids f[ire.]

These two together lay in Bed,
and talkt of womens blisses,
Talkt of each others maiden-heads,
and talkt of empty Kisses:
Which fir'd the Youth that he began,
himself for to discover,
He told her that he was a man
and was her onely Lover.

Thrice fairer then my self he said.
since we have time and leisure,
Be neither coy, nor be afraid,
let me unlock thy Treasure:
Thy breasts like lovely fruit do swell,
and raise my passion higher,
Thy beauty does so much excell,
I burn with wanton fire.

So fair a maid was born for Love,
let not sweet time be wasted,
From thy soft armes I'le not remove,
till I the fruit have tasted:
I will not let advantage slip,
so near the brink of pleasure,
I'le seize upon thy tempting Lip,
and feast me without measure.

At last the tender Nymph did yield,
unto the youths desire,
And conquering beauty got the Field,
and cool'd the Lovers fire:
She cur'd him of a wanton wound,
although she seem'd unwilling,
How sweet is Cupids pleasing wound,
how sweet two Doves a Billing.

Now quick Desire hath caught his prey,
and feeds, yet never filleth,
The Courted Nymph does now obey,
and gives him what he willeth:
The pleasures are too sweet to tell
so sweet that Nan , and Nell sir,
Came oft to drink a this same Well,
and made their Bellies swell sir.

The Cunning Rover lay all night,
upon the panting P[illow],
And hit the black, and hit the white,
like a brisk jolly fellow:
What should their farther now be said,
to make a song John Dory ,
In that he got their Maiden heads,
and thus Concludes the story.


Printed for C. Dennisson, at the Stationers-armes within Aldgate. 1685.
