| Ballad Title | The Longing Virgins Choice: / OR, / The Scotch Lasses Delight. / Virgins all you that Coyness still perswades, / Though 'gainst your wills you still continue Maids; / Blush not at this, for though the Lass is kind, / She's not to blame your all so in your mind: / And fain would have the thing you dare not name, / Sighing for that which she does boldy claim: / Young-men are kind, and would not see you want, / If you but ask, what you desire they'l grant: / Then let not Blushes o're your pleasures swell, / 'Tis sure but scurvy leading Apes in Hell. |
| Tune Imprint | To a Modish new Scoth Tune, Sung at the Dukes Playhouse. |
| Standard Tune Title | Bonny Lass, Gin Thou Wert Mine |
