The Hackney Damsells PASTIME,
OR,
A Summer Evening FROLLICK.
To a pleasant new Tune, much in Request. This may be Printed, R.P.
|
[1]
|
ONE Evening, in hot weather,
|
I through a Grove did pass,
|
And saw two Maids together,
|
sit sporting on the grass:
|
I stood a while and ey'd them,
|
They little thought who spy'd them.
|
Whilst they were imitating
|
What I'll forbear relating.
|
[2]
|
When their Pastime was over,
|
I gently trod the green,
|
To surprise them and discover,
|
that their Frollick I had seen,
|
The one more nimble sighted
|
She run as if she was frighted;
|
The other not surmizing,
|
I caught her just a Rising.
|
[3]
|
And down again I pluckt her,
|
whilst she cry'd fie upon't;
|
And quickly did instruct her
|
in what young Maidens want.
|
The other at a distance,
|
Came not to her assistance;
|
But stamping, stood and said,
|
Ah Moll, you're a wicked Jade.
|
[4]
|
You foolish Girl, come hither
|
And do as I have done;
|
I'm sure that you had rather
|
be kiss'd, than let alone:
|
He hath gotten in his Breeches
|
For Maids, a bag of Riches,
|
Which when you've in possession,
|
You'll think it no transgression.
|
[5]
|
With that the Wench drew nigher,
|
and I to meet her run;
|
Whose heart was set on fire
|
with standing to look on.
|
I on the grass did throw her,
|
And soon began to show her,
|
The pleasing toyle of Nature,
|
That's lov'd by every Creature.
|
[6]
|
She every moment kiss'd me,
|
and clasps me in her Arms;
|
And cry'd, ye powers assist me,
|
to exercise new Charms,
|
Whilst we our Joys were sharing,
|
The other she [s]at staring;
|
Which put me in m[ind] [to] think on,
|
How the Devil look'd o'er Lincoln.
|
[7]
|
When our delights wer[e] over
|
she blushing to me cry'd,
|
Good Sir, do not discover
|
what freedoms you've enjoy'd,
|
For when my Mistress knows it,
|
She'll take me to her Closet,
|
And beats me in her Anger
|
For kissing with a stranger.
|
[8]
|
I all assurance gave her,
|
I'd keep it in my breast;
|
She ask'd me if I'd have her,
|
I answer'd yes in Jest;
|
The other in a fury:
|
Cry'd Oh you idle Whore you,
|
He's a Man that I have right in,
|
And so they fell to fighting.
