Loves Mistery:
OR,
A parcel of clouded Waggery.
Tis all Mens Fancy to commend,
That which is smooth and witty;
More pleasant Lines were never pennd,
They are so wondrous pretty.
Tune is, She lay naked in her Bed, etc.
|
ALl in the merry Month of May,
|
the prime time of the Year;
|
A young man walkd upon a day,
|
with one he lovd most dear:
|
And as these Lovers secretly,
|
within the Woods did walk;
|
Where Bears and Lyons lurking lye,
|
and Sprites do nightly walk.
|
This young mans will, was by his skill
|
to find her Pulse to beat;
|
That he in love, his art might prove,
|
to quench a furious heat:
|
Which she felt glowing in her veins,
|
most ready to surprize;
|
Which causd him for to spare no pains,
|
but freely to advise,
|
This Damsel gay, a while to stay,
|
under that pleasant shade;
|
Twas so obscure, they might be sure,
|
they could not be betraied:
|
Nor did they fear, what prying Ear,
|
might listen with pretence;
|
Since what they spoke, might still be took
|
into a double sense.
|
Her pretty tempting Foot and Legg,
|
his Senses so did charm;
|
He said, My Dear, if I draw near,
|
thou needest fear no harm:
|
She bid him freely use his mind,
|
so that he would not flatter;
|
He joyd to see she was so kind,
|
and longd for to be at her.
|
He took her in his Arms so smooth,
|
in truth I do not mock;
|
Not meaning any harm at all,
|
he strait took up her---Block
|
Whereon she sate, poor silly Maid,
|
to rest her wearied bones;
|
But she, being no whit afraid,
|
caught hold upon his---Thumbs
|
Which made him then for to cry Oh!
|
that all his face did wrinkle;
|
But she being not at all dismaid,
|
catchd hold upon his---Pimple
|
Which then was growing on his face;
|
But let this Pimple pass,
|
For there is none but may suppose,
|
she was a jovial Lass.
|
|
|
|
|
The second part, to the same Tune.
|
HEe ventured lowly, being tall,
|
and in his Speeches blunt,
|
He made no more, but took up all,
|
and catchd her by the---Plump
|
Red Cheeks, so comely that did shew;
|
which causd him still to pluck her:
|
Likewise he had a mighty mind,
|
to Kiss, to Cull, and---Duck her.
|
Pish fye away, she then did say,
|
what needeth all this doeing?
|
If you will now be ruled by me,
|
weel use small time in Woein[g]:
|
Ile lay me down upon the ground,
|
amongst these slideing Seggs,
|
And all my Coats Ile tuck up round,
|
and spread abroad my---Eggs
|
Which I have in my Basket here,
|
fast to my Girdle tuckd;
|
Then I shall be in handsome Geere,
|
and ready to be---Duckd
|
Into some pleasant running Stream,
|
for nows the time oth year,
|
To wash and scoure every thing,
|
both Hands, Face, Eyes and Eare.
|
He presently with might and main,
|
finding his Girle so quick;
|
Resolving for to ease her pain,
|
pulld out a standing---Stick-
|
Which he had growing in that place,
|
it was so smooth and good:
|
He put fresh colour in her face,
|
and sweetly stirrd her blood.
|
She cryd, O fye, you are so rude,
|
unless you make an end,
|
We are so close together Glewd;
|
I shall be forcd to---Rend-
|
My Smock in sunder to be gone,
|
or else I am beguild;
|
If we should stay together long,
|
I sure should be with---Wild-
|
Beasts sore affrighted, in these Woods,
|
for there the danger lyes;
|
I feele the little streaming Flouds,
|
run trickling down my---Eyes-
|
For fear of dangers that ensue,
|
such pretty wanton play;
|
Therefore leave off, I have my due,
|
and dare no longer stay.
|
He courteously took up his Mate,
|
that sported underneath;
|
And lovingly this Couple sate,
|
for to recover breath:
|
And sure they might without offence,
|
exchange some harmless Kisses,
|
Hees not alive, that will not strive,
|
for to enjoy such Blisses.
|
Let none these modest Lines mistake,
|
nor put themselves to trouble;
|
By false constructions for to make,
|
this pleasant sense seem double:
|
If any Evil here lye hid,
|
tis but imagination;
|
For what this Couple said or did,
|
was for their Recreation.
