The Merry MANS Resolution Or a LONON Frollick.
He goes a wooing yet the matters so,
He cares not much whether he speeds or no,
Cause City Wives and Wenches are so common
He thinks it hard to find an honest woman
Ben't angry with this fellow I protest
That many a true word hath been spoke in jest,
By degrees he layes a wager money's scant
Vntil five shillings out, then ends his Rant.
The Tune is much in Request, Ile hold thee five shillings.
IF young Men & Maidens
will listen a while
I'le sing you a Sonnet
will make you to smile
Then come my own Dearest
and be not so coy,
Whatever thou fearest
ile get thée a boy.
Ile hold thee a six pence
tis silver compleat
If thou art but willing
I can do the feat.
Then be not so scornful
b [...]t loving anti Kind
If thou will but kiss me
ile tell thee my mind
For I am a Gallant
that's vers'd in the trade
I know what belongs to
Wife, Widdow and Maid
Ile hold thee a willing
as round as a King
Those Lasses that kiss well
loves the rather thing.
Then dear let me feel if
thy flesh it be warm
For I vow and protest I
will to thee no harm,
But buddle and cuddle
weel toy and weell kiss
What hurt honest Neighbours
can come of all this
Ile hold you three six-pences
in ready Coyn
Most G [...]is when they'r pleased
with young men will joyn.
BUt when they are sullin

But touze um and touz um

And when you have done it,
this story is true
If you do but kiss um
they'l straight wayes kiss you
Ile hold you two shillings

The fairest [...]th Nation
will lye with a man.
Then why should young Females
continue sonice,
When Ladies of pleasure
do count it no vice
To be kind to their Neighbours
as well as the rest
For kissing and Courting
is still in request,
Ile hold two and six pence
that's just half a crown
Highest Girles in all Europe.
are easiest blown down.
To talk of Complexions
too tedious it were,
Or to know their conditions
by th'colour of hair,
Yet this ile assure you,
either Black, Red or Brown
When they'r in the humour
theyl freely ly down
Ile hold you three shillings
who gainst me dare lay
That Women delight much
with young men to play.
Theres Mary & Betty,
with Nancy & Jone,
They'l lye with a Tinker
ere they'l lye alone,
There's Peg, Dol and Bridget
Rebecca and Kate
They laugh when they hear ont
but long till they hav't
Ile hold thee three & six pence
Maids love Men the best
When they come a wooing
in earnest not felt.
Fine Susan and Sarah
brave Lasses indeed
Yet they'l lye with a Broom man
if they stand in need,
Likewise pretty Parnel
and simpering Sisse
When young men imbrace them
how kindly they kiss
Ile hold you four shillings
the nicest that be
At one time or other
makes use of a P—
Then bear be contented
for thou shalt have one,
And shalt be prevented
of lying alone:
For I'm stout and lusty
and fit for delight
Ile hug thee & Kiss thee
ten times in a night
Ile hold four & six pence
Ile hold thee no less
Ile here a hole through thy coat
then by guess.
For I am an Archer,
Well skil'd in that Art
Though I shoot at young Damsels
they nere feel it smart
Ile hold thee five shillings,
ile hold thee no more.
Ile bore a hole through thy smock
even before.
This song throughout England
on purpose I send
To make young men merry,
and there is an end.
