The Coy Damosel Conquered:
OR,
The Couragious Gallants Victory.
Tune of, Why are my eyes still Flowing. This may be Printed, R. P.

W Ith many Glasses flow------------ing,
of the most rich aspiring Wine;
I was inflam'd for go---------------ing,
to court a Nymph with a design;
But when she see that I was drawing nigh,
She-------------did flye,
Saying my little Amour, that Trappan,
shall never tempt me to lye with a Man.

In this sad frightful sto--------ry,
her Beauty still the more did appear,
Like Flora in her Glo----------ry,
this made my grief the more severe;
Like one undaunted I drew near again,
but----------her disdain
Still was redoubled, and said, Come not on,
for I disdain to lye with a Man.

F Rom me she then was fly----------------ing,
yet I obtain'd her in my Arms;
A thousand times deny---------------ing,
that I should take those pleasing charms;
Then did she flounce, and both scratch, squeak and cry.
say------------------ing Fye, fye,
Will you an innocent Maiden trappan,
Who vows she hateth to lye with a Man.

Said I sweet Nymph yet know---------------you,
Females were made for young-mens delight,
And I those Charms can show---------------you,
which Beauties often find by night.
Then let us now make no longer delay.
but----------------Obey;
Then with a blush she did let fall her Fan.
Saying i'm fearful to lye with a Man.

As I assail'd this Beau--------------ty,
the God of Love came into the fray,
Saying it was her du---------------ty,
so that she straightway did obey,
Then falling down on the tender young Grass,
say---------------ing alas!
You overcome, let me do what I can,
I never thought to have layn with a man.

Now, is my heart transpor-------------ted,
with more joy, then my Tongue can express,
When I was often Cour-------------------ted,
I soon had yielded you may guess
Had I believ'd that such pleasure had been,
In-------------------the sin,
But now I'le have you to do what you can,
I shall admire the Actions of man .

While on her Breast I ly------------------ing,
so tenderly then with her I dealt,
That she said I am dy-------------------ing,
the sweetest Death that e're was felt:
Were I but sure that none would pass this way,
all-------------------this day,
I would intreat you to do what you can,
Now I admire the Actions of man .


Printed for J. Deacon, at the Angel in Guilt-
spur-street.
