An Excellant Mew SONG [Call'd],
THE
Quakers Lamentation
FOR
The loss of his Ding-Dangs.
Tune of The Old Man's Wish.
With Allowance

DEar Friends behold a Brother most sad,
For loosing my Ding Dangs makes me mad,
Jealousie had lik'd to cost me Life,
Oh that I ne're had known a Wife.

When a Sister once my Wife had been,
I thought she'd had the Light within,
But instead thereof I had a hard Fate,
For Horns I fear'd was on my Pate.

Oh what a hard Case it is indeed,
When Two of the Spirit chance to Wed;
Then One to fall off and imbrace the Flesh,
Is not this a most pittious Case.

This run in my Head and vexed me sore,
Poor Quaker was never so serv'd before;
For Ease of my Mind not making of Moan,
Without more adoe I whipt off my S---- [?],

'Twas a Razor gave the Fatal Stroke,
Now what will Jenny do for a Cloke,
Do for a Cloke when her Belly does swell,
By Yea and by Nay I cannot tell.

If Jenny shall have any Children now,
The Case will be plain which way and how,
For what I can do she may lye alone,
No good she can have the Vertue is gone.

But that which Troubles me most of all,
My Ding-Dangs now I cannot recall,
I cannot recall the Pleasure again,
Which oft times I have had with them.

Nay more then that I dare not go out,
For the Wicked they do [?]ear and Flout,
They call me Fumbling Quaker withall,
And Swear I can do nothing at all.

When to the Meeting-House I am got,
Tho a Spiritual Place Ile tell thee what,
The Sanctifi'd Si[stt]ers stare in my Face,
Then Smile at each other with Disgrace.

I cannot Converse with Women Kind,
But streightways they declare their mind,
And say that I am not fit to Live,
For Cuting off that my Wife should have.

Oh that I had my Tools again,
Tho a Cuckold I was nere so plain;
If the Wicked has the thing not done,
The Child may be a hopefull Son.

Now Jenny I do Grieve full sore,
To think that I shall nere do more;
If to Live without thou must be Sick,
Pray let a Brother do the Trick.

Now to the Brethron of the North,
I mean those that use the Bull and Mouth,
Dont Cut off your Tools as I have done.
Youl hang your selves when they are gone.

The Sisters too I do advise,
In all your Breathings to be Wise,
Nere let your Mates know what you do,
Least Whipping Work falls on them to.
