Here's clipping and kiſſing, with ſtore of delight,

With Frisking, and Frolicks, as ſeldome is ſeen,

To ſport all the day-time, and play in the night,

Where Young-men and Maids, do meet on a Green.

To a gallant new Tune, called Andrew and Maudlin.

ANdrew, Maudlin, Rebecca and Will,

pretty Peg, with Joſeph and Mary,

Peter the Plymmer, and Miles of the Mill:

Beſe of the Buttery, and D [...]ll of the Dary;

They went and gathered young Primroſes,

To make them ſundrey ſorts of Poſies.

William put on his Holiday Iacket,

Gryſſel put on her Ruſſet Gray;

Meg had a Ribon hung down to her Placket,

and ſo they went gingling all the way:

To ſolace their lips, and ſwéeten their labor,

They met on a Gréen, with a Pipe & a Tabor.

Frinkham Frankham is a fine dance,

young Ti [...] did trip it on her Toes;

And Jo [...]n came into the place by chance,

whoſe cheeks were like the Crimſon Roſe:

They coupled themſelves like Birds of a feather,

And footed it finely altogether.

Jane bagan to juſtle with Thomas,

Humphrey thought to find her there;

Yet Nelly forſooth did fail in her promiſe,

becauſe ſhe did not like his ware:

Tis a dainty thing to dandle a Baby,

And Joan in the dark, is as good as my Lady.

Keſter tooke Heſter by the hand,

come play us a Tune thou truſty Trout:

A match (quoth Roger) and if it doth ſtand,

and ſo they jumbled round about,

With Salingers round, & the French Canaries,

That paſſed Iack-pudding, & all his Fegaries.

Ralph got Rachel about the middle,

and Simon ſuckt up all the Eggs:

Philip did play with his Bag-pipe & Fiddle,

while jumping Ioan did ſhake her Legs,

Her Apron was white, and her Peticoat red,

And they were moſt ſwéetly brought to Bed.

The ſecond Part,

[Page]

to the ſame Tune.

[figure]

PAul the Pedler is a boon Blade.

but the Broom-man is another,

For they belong to the Tribe of Cad,

and learn'd this Action from their Mother

Tom Tinkers Ware is ſpecial Mettle,

And Dennis did ſmile like a Furmity-kettle

Richards Feather will never leave wagging

James and Nan in the Cole-hole are gotten

And ſimple Nick will never leave bragging,

becauſe his Father is dead and rotten.

When Iack from Mary her Portion had got,

'Tis néed that make the Old-woman trot.

Robins noſe will never leave dropping,

hang up ſorrow, caſt away care:

And Cupi [...] catch't young Sarah napping,

as Moſs by chance did catch his Mare,

Her Apron is to ſhort before,

Which made poor Margery cry full ſore.

Old ſmel-ſmock Sam delights to vow,

for love will créep, where it cannot go:

Neds noſe will ſerve for a poore-mans Sow

and Kate did tread upon his toe:

Young-men do love to be with Maids,

And Gillian was like the Quéen of Spades.

Clim the Carrier is come home,

and brought to town good Fiſh & Muſtard,

Precilla did dance a Iig with Tom,

which made his buttocks quake like a Cuſtard,

With clipping and kiſſing, & kind imbraces

The young-men tumbled about with their Laſſes.

Iocky and Ienny with Arthur of Bradly,

Roger of Coverly and his conſort,

Did trick and trim it wonderfull madly,

and ſo they concluded, & ended their ſport,

The Horſe can trot and the Mare can amble

And ſo I end my Country Ramble,

Finis.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
