The Second Part of the new Scotch-Jigg:
OR,
JENNYS Reply, To JOHNNYS Cravat.
The Case is alterd now; Jenny Wooes Johnny
To tye her Kirtle, and sheel be his Honey;
Which Johnny took so kindly, sitting by her,
That for his heart, he could not well deny her,
At length they did agree, so plain and pat,
That he her Kirtle tyd; She his Cravat.
Tune of, Jenny Come tye my, etc.
