The SECOND BOOK of the Pleasant Musical Companion: BEING A New Collection of Select Catches, Songs, and Glees, for Two and Three Voices.
The Second Edition, Corrected and much Enlarged.
LONDON, Printed for John Playford near the Temple Church, or at his House over against the Blue-Ball in Arundel-Street, 1686.
PREFACE.
OF this Second Volume of the Musical Companion a small Impression was Printed and Published above two Years since, of which I have a considerable Number yet remaining, it being not so compleat and well done to my mind as I could have wish'd afterwards, and being not printed in a Volume to joyn with the First Book. These Reasons did hasten me sooner than I intended to a Second Edition, and to leave out several of those Catches not suitable to the present Mode, and to add many new ones; and also, in the last Part of this Book I have joyned many new Songs for Two Voices, never before printed; and also some old reviv'd Songs sometime sung at the Theaters: All which, I doubt not, but to many Judicious Lovers of Musick will be very acceptable; having herein taken no small Pains and Care to have True Copies from the Composers, and truly printed, upon which account I also Recommend my First Volume, entituled, The Musical Companion, tho' published ten Years since, which is a very excellent Magazine of Vocal Musick, containing four several Varieties of Musick in one compleat Volume, viz. In the first Part, 100 Choice Select Catches; in the second Part, 6 Dialogues, and 33 Songs and Ayres for two Voices, Cantus and Bassus; the third Part contains 60 Songs and Ayres for three Voices, Cantus, Medius, and Bassus; in the fourth and last Part are 12 Songs and Ayres for four Voices, Cantus, Medius, Tenor, and Bassus: All which are contained in one Volume, and the Parts so printed, that the several persons may sing their Parts out of that one Book. These two Volumes contain most of the choicest Catches and Songs, which have been Composed by most of the eminent English Masters for above this 30 Years last past, wherefore I leave these as my Vltimum Vale of this kind of Musick, and heartily wish, That they may prove useful and pleasant to all true Companions and Lovers of Vocal Musick.

[Upon Christchurch Bells in Oxford.]
1 [...] HArk! the bonny Christchurch Bells, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; they sound so woundy great, so [...] wond'rous sweet, and they troul so mer╌ri╌ly, mer╌ri╌ly. Hark! the first and second Bell, that e╌ve╌ry day at [...] Four and Ten, cries, Come, come, come, come, come to Pray'rs, and the Virger troops be╌fore the Dean: [...] Tinkle, tinkle, ting, goes the small Bell at Nine, to call the Beerers home; but the Dev'l-a-Man will [...] leave his Can, till he hears the mighty Tom.
[Judith and Holifernes.]
2 [...] WHen Judith had laid Ho╌li╌fer╌nes in Bed, she pull'd out his Falchion, and cut off his Head; the [...] reason is plain, he'd have made her his Whore, so she cut off his Head as I told you before, as I told you before▪
[A Catch.]
3 [...] DRink on, drink on, drink on, 'till Night be spent, and Sun do shine, did not the Gods give [...] anxious Mortals Wine, to wash all Care, to wash all Care and Trouble from the Heart? why then so soon, [...] why then so soon shou'd Jo╌vial Fel ╌lows part? Come let this Bumper, let this Bumper for the [...] next make way, who's sure to live, who's sure to live, and drink a╌no╌ther day.
[A Catch.]
4 [...] FUll Bags, a brisk Bottle, and a beau╌ti╌ul Face, are the three greatest Blessings poor Mortals em╌brace; but, alas! we grow Muck-worms if Bags do but fill, and a bon╌ny gay Dame of╌ten ends in a [...] Pill: Then hey for brisk Claret, whose Pleasures ne're wast, by a Bumper we're rich, and by two we are chast.
[A Catch.]
5 [...] COme fill all the Glasses, un╌til they run o're, for Wine is the Mistress we ought to [...] a╌dore; since Women are fickle fan╌ta╌sti╌cal Toys, fit on╌ly for Fools and ignorant Boys: 'Tis [...] Wine, pure Wine, brisk Wine alone, gives Mirth, and makes us mer ╌ry Boys.
[An old Epitaph.]
6 [...] UNder this Stone lies Ga╌bri╌el John, in the year of our Lord, One thousand and one; [...] cover his Head with Turf or Stone, 'tis all one, 'tis all one, with Turf or Stone, 'tis all one: Pray for the [...] Soul of gen╌tle John, if you please you may, or let it alone, 'tis all one.
[The Humours of Bartholomew Fair.]
7 [...] HEre's that will challenge all the Fair, come buy my Nuts and Damsons, my Bur╌ga╌my Pear; [...] here's the Whore of Ba╌by╌lon, the De ╌vil and the Pope, the Girl is just a going on the Rope: [...] Here's Dives and La╌za╌rus, and the World's Creation, here's the Dutch Woman, the like's not in the Nation; [...] here is the Booth where the tall Dutch Maid is, here are Bears that dance like a ╌ny Ladies: [...] To╌ta, to╌ta, tot, goes the lit╌tle Pe╌ny Trumpet, here's your Jacob Hall that can jump it, jump it; [...] sound Trumpet, sound, a sil╌ver Spoon and Fork, come here's your dainty Pig and Pork.
[Second Part of Bartholomew Fair.]
8 [...] HEre is the Ra╌ri╌ties of the whole Fair, Pimper-le Pimp, and the wise Dancing Mare; here's valiant [...] St. George and the Dragon, a Farce, a Girl of Fifteen with strange Moles on her Ar—: Here is [...] Vi╌en╌na besieg'd, a rare thing, and here's Pun╌chi╌nel╌lo, shown thrice to the King. Then Ladies mask'd to the [...] Cloyster re╌pair; but there will be no Raffling, a Pox take the Fair.
[On a Crab-tree.]
9 [...] THe Crab of the Wood is Sawce very good, for the Crab of the foaming Sea; and the Wood of the [...] Crab is good for the Drab, that will not her Husband o╌bey.
[A chiding Catch.]
10 [...] FY! nay! prethee John! do not quarrel, man! let's be mer╌ry, and drink about: [...] You're a Rogue, you've cheated me, I'le prove before this Company, I caren't a Farthing, Sir, for all you are so stout. [...] Sir, you lye, I scorn your word, or a╌ny Man that wears a Sword, for all you huff, who cares a Tur╌, or [...] who cares for you.
[A Catch.]
11 [...] HOnest Ralph was a Merchant's man, and dwelt in Lumbard-street; merry Jack was his own kins╌man, 'tis merry, 'tis mer╌ry when Malt-men meet: Here is lu╌sty Darby Ale, honest Ralph, let's not [...] part; th'other Quart, Brother Jack, with all my Heart.
[A Catch.]
12 [...] WHen a Woman that's buxom, a Dotard does wed, 'tis a madness to think she'l be [...] true to his Bed; for who can re╌sist a Gallant that is young, and a Man A-la-mode in his [...] Garb, and his Tongue: His Looks have such Charms, and his Language such Force, that the [...] drowsy Mechanick's a Cuckold of course.
[A Catch.]
13 [...] BE gone, old Care, and I prethee be gone from me, for I faith, old Care, thee and I shall never agree; 'tis [...] long thou hast liv'd with me, and fain thou would'st me kill, but I faith, old Care, thou never shalt have thy will.
[The London Constable.]
14 [...] WHo comes there? stand; who comes there? stand, and come before the Constable, we'l know what you [...] are: What makes you out so late? says the Midnight Magistrate, with a Noddle full of Ale, in a [...] wooden Chair of State. Whence come you, Sir? and whither do you go? you may be, Sir, a Je╌su╌it for [...] ought I know. You may as well, Sir, take me for a Ma╌ho╌me╌tan. He speaks Latin, secure him, he's a [...] dan╌ge╌rous Man. To tell you the truth, Sir, I am an honest To╌ry; but here's a Crown to [...] drink, and there's an end of the Sto╌ry. Good morrow, Sir, a ci╌vil Man is al╌ways welcom, go [...] Bar╌na╌by Bounce, light the Gentleman home.
[A Catch.]
15 [...] BE jol╌ly my friends, for the Mo╌ney we spend on Women and Wine, to our selves we do lend; the [...] La╌dies Em╌bra╌ces, and our car╌bun╌cled Faces, will gain us more Credit than the Muses or Graces: Then [...] Sirrah, be quicker, and bring us more Liquor, we'l ne're trouble our heads with Physician or Vicar; but [...] round with our Bouls, 'till our Passing╌bell tolls, and trust no such Quacks with our Bodies or Souls.
[A Catch.]
16 [...] I Wou'd I were in my Father's Mill, where I have been of╌ten found A; flat, [...] flat on my Back, o're a well-fill'd Sack, and whilst the Mill goes round A; round A, round A, round A, round, and [...] so the Mill goes round A.
[Tom Jolly's Nose.]
17 [...] TOm Jol╌ly's Nose I mean to a╌buse, thy jol╌ly Nose Tom provokes my Muse; thy [...] Nose jol╌ly Tom that shines so bright, I'le ea╌si╌ly fol╌low it by its own light: Thy Nose Tom [...] Jol╌ly no Jest it will bear, although it yields Matter enough, and to spare; but jol╌ly Tom's [...] Nose, for all he can do, breeds Worms in it self, and in our Heads too. Tom's Nose, jol╌ly Tom's Nose, the [...] more it is banter'd, the more it glows: Then drink to Tom Jol╌ly a cooling Glass, or jol╌ly Tom's [...] Nose will fire his Face.
[Answer to Tom Jolly's Nose.]
18 [...] ALthough jol╌ly Tom, great Fame thou hast won, thy bloody red Nose shall look paler e're [...] long; for the rate that we drink at each Night, still procures such No╌ses, as would quite discountenance [...] yours: And when the large Bumper floats round in the close, we'l despise thee, and swear, 'tis mine Ar— of a Nose.
[A Catch.]
19 [...] JOan Ea-sy got her a Nag and a Sledge, to the Privy-house for to slide A; the [...] Hole was so foul, that she cou'd not sit, but did cack as she lay on her side A: She was not bound, for she [...] sent forth a sound, did stretch her Fundament wide A.
[Gallopping Joan.]
20 [...] JOan has been gallopping, gallopping, gallopping, Joan has been gallopping all the Town o're, [...] 'till her Bumfiddle, Bumfiddle, Bumfddle, un╌til her Bumfiddle was wonderous sore; without e're a [...] Saddle upon her old Jade, to fetch her good Man from the Alehouse trade.
[Second Part of Gallopping Joan.]
21 [...] THis gallopping, gallopping Joan, I conclude, has an Instrument sucks, sucks more than Leech or [...] Pump; she at present, poor Girl, has no time to be lewd, for her Buttocks are so sore, she cannot [...] jump: But however you may tickle her Virginal Rump, for plainly I see with your Mouth how you mump.
[Young John the Gardiner.]
22 [...] YOung John the Gard'ner having lately got a ve╌ry rich and fer╌tile Garden Plot; bragging to Joan, Quoth [...] he, so rich a Ground for Mellons, cannot in the World be found: That's a damn'd lye, quoth Joan, for I can [...] tell a place, that does your Garden far ex╌cell: Where's that? says John; In mine Ar—, quoth Joan, for [...] there is store of Dung and Wa╌ter▪ all the year.
[The King's Health.]
23 [...] GOD preserve His Ma╌je╌sty, and for ever send him Victory, and confound all His Enemies, [...]
[...] take off your Hock, Sir. Amen.
[A Catch on the Midnight Cats.]
24 [...] YE Cats that at Midnight spit Love at each other, who best feel the Pangs of a passionate [...] Lover; I appeal to your Scratches and tattered Fur, if the business of Love be no more than to Pur. [...] Old Lady Grimmalkin, with Goosberry Eyes, when a Kitten knew something for why she was wise; you [...] find by experience the Love-fit's soon o're, Puss, Puss, lasts not long, but turns to Cat-whore. Men ride many [...] Miles, Cats tread many Tiles, both hazard, both hazard their Necks in the fray; on╌ly Cats, if they [...] fall from a House or a Wall, keep their Feet, mount their Tails, mount their Tails, and away.
[Kind Jenny.]
25 [...] I'Le tell my Mother my Jen╌ny cries, and then a poor lan╌gui╌shing Lover dies; but ye-faith, I believe the Gipsey lies, for all she is so grave and wise: She longs to be tickl'd, to be [...] tickl'd, to be tickl'd, she longs to be tickl'd; Oh! she longs to be tickl'd.
[The Maid with a Basket.]
26 [...] ONce I did see a Maid, with a Basket hanging dangling on her Arm; she lay down as [...] soon as I ask'd it, and rose a╌gain without hurt or pain; and trip'd it merrily, and trip'd it merrily, [...] mer╌ri╌ly, mer╌ri╌ly, o're the Plain.
[The Nut-brown Lass.]
27 [...] A Health, a Health to the Nut-brown Lass, with the Hazle Eyes; she that has good Eyes, has [...] al╌so good Thighs, let it pass, let it pass: As much to the live╌li╌er Gray, they're as good by night as [...] day; she that has good Eyes, has al╌so good Thighs, drink away, drink away: I'le pledge, Sir, I'le pledge, what [...] ho! some Wine, here! some Wine; to mine, and to thine; to thine, and to mine; the Colours are Divine: But [...] Oh! the Black Eyes, the Black, give me as much again, and let it be Sack; she that has good Eyes, has [...] al╌so good Thighs, and a better knack.
[John the Miller.]
28 [...] JOhn ask'd his Land-la╌dy, thinking no ill, where he might best set up a Water-Mill; the [...] wanton La╌dy seeing John all alone, return'd this An╌swer to her Tenant John: Would'st thou all [...] o╌thers thy Mill should disgrace? then 'twixt my Legs will be the fittest place; for I, at time of need, [...] can from behind, when Wa╌ter fails before, supply't with Wind.
[A Catch.]
29 [...] WEll rung Tom-boy, well rung Tom, Ding-dong, Cuckoo, well rung Tom; the Owl and the Cuckoo, the [...] Fool and the Song, well sung; Cuckoo, well rung Tom.
[A Catch.]
30 [...] UN╌der a green Elm, lies Luke Shepherd's Helm, that steer'd him ev'╌ry way; [...] wherefore now she's gone, mour╌ning there is none, he follow'd her Corps in gray: He smil'd at the [...] Grave, like a flee╌ring Knave, she'l tell him on't at the last day; for if we must rise with the same [...] Bo╌dy and Eyes, she'l have the same Tongue, folks say.
[A Catch.]
31 [...] JOan, Joan, for your part, you love kissing with all your Heart; I mar╌ry do I, says jumping Joan, and [...] therefore to thee I make my moan.
[A Catch.]
32 [...] WOuld you know how we meet o're our jol╌ly full Bouls, as we min╌gle our [...] Liquors, we min╌gle our Souls; the Sweet melts the Sharp, the Kind sooths the Strong, and nothing but [...] friendship grows all the Night long: We drink, laugh, and gra╌ti╌fie ev'╌ry De╌sire, Love [...] on╌ly remains, our un╌quen╌cha╌ble Fire.
[A Catch.]
33 [...] AS I went over Tawny March, there I met with a tawny Lass; tawny Hose, and tawny Shoon; [...] tawny Petticoat, tawny Gown; tawny Brows, and tawny Face, thy tawny Nose in her tawny Ar—.
[Tom Tory, and Titus.]
34 [...] TOm To╌ry told Titus, The Whigs did de╌sign to murder the King, and subvert the Right Line: Quoth the Doctor, in a fury, you're a rascally Sot, Sir, did ever you hear of a Protestant Plot, Sir! Marry [...] have I, quoth Tom, and I migh╌ti╌ly fear it; You're a Je╌su╌it, quoth the Doctor, if you vex me, I'le swear it.
[A Catch.]
35 [...] ONce in our lives let us drink to our Wives, tho' their Number be but small; [...] Heav'n take the best, and the De╌vil take the rest, and so we shall get rid of them all: To [...] this hearty Wish, let each Man take his Dish, and drink, drink, 'till he fall.
[A Catch.]
36 [...] COme let us drink, and never think, for Care kills a Cat, but Wine makes us fat: Then a [...] Health to our Royal King James, and His Queen, may His Reign be ever Pleasant, and ever Green; may all His [...] Loyal Subjects faithful be, and ne're more disturb his Peace; but e╌ver still in Health and Wealth, may daily [...] prosper and encrease.
[A Catch.]

Oh! how she negl'd him all the Night long!
[Vpon the Coy Mrs. Dy-na; Who wou'd not kiss, nor come Nigh-na!]
39 [...] I'Ve lost my Dear Dy', therefore will I cry, and bid her good-by; tho' I do not know why, the [...] Jade is so shy, my Flame to de╌ny, when in Passion I fry; had she dropt from the Sky, she [...] ought to comply, and not still to cry like a Jilt, Fy! fy! fy! fy! Oh fy! fy!
[On a Wedding.]
40 [...] HOw happy a thing were a Wedding, and a Bedding, if a Man cou'd purchase a Wife for a [...] Twelvemonth and a day; but to live with her all a Man's life, for e╌ver and aye, 'till she grow quite as [...] gray as a Cat, I thank you for that, good faith, Master Parson, I thank you, I thank you for that.
[A Catch.]
41 [...] COme my Hearts, how are you inclin'd? Let's drink off our Drink, and be ve╌ry, very kind; for [...] now on a sudden 'tis come in my mind, he was hang'd that left his Liquor behind.
[A Round.]
42 [...] UP and down this World goes, down, down this World goes, up and down, up and down the World goes.
[A Catch.]
43 [...] TO see on Fire a boyling Pot, that is the News we do not need; a Sloven's Nose that's [...] full of Snot, that's no News, 'tis so agree'd: But to see a Man knit a Turd in╌to a True-lover's Knot, [...] Oh! that's News to laugh at indeed!
[A Catch.]

[An EPITAPH on an honest Citizen, and true Friend to all Claret-drinkers.]
45 [...] HEre lieth Symon cold as Clay, who whil'st he liv'd, cry'd, who whil'st he liv'd, cry'd, Tip away; and when [...] Death puts out his Taper, he needeth no touch, he needeth no Touch up╌on a Paper. Now let him rest, since [...] he is dead, and asks not for a bit, and asks not for a bit of Bread, before he dy'd, and that is [...] much, for Death gave him, for Death gave him a Racey Touch.
[On Mun Saint.]
46 [...] STrange News from the Rose Boys, never heard before Boys, Saint upon a Sunday, he play'd away his [...] Clothes Boys, never such a Saint was there e╌ver heard before Boys.
[A Catch.]
47 [...] HAve you not in a Chimney seen, a Fagot that is moist and green, how it doth weep, [...] and with its Tears, sends its Complaint un╌to our Ears? So fares it with a tender Maid, when first up╌on her Back she's laid: But dry Wood, like the experienc'd Dame, cracks and re╌joy╌ces in the Flame.
[The Thatcher.]

He thought of a thousand Pound, but it wou'd╌n't turn to account: He thought of the Pot, and he [...] thought of the Plot, but nothing would come on't. At last he resolv'd, tho' nothing would do, that [Page] [...] nothing should put him by Sir; but nothing to purpose of Nothing he'd write, and no body should be the [...] wiser: 'Tis nothing to you if he would do so, and if Nothing's in't you find; then thank him for Nothing, and [...] that will be more than e╌ver he design'd.

What say the Learned? what say the Learned? Vita [...] fumus, vita fumus; 'tis what you and I, and he and I; you, and he, and I, and all of us, Sumus. But [...] then to the Learned; say we again, If Life's a Smoak as they maintain, if Life's a Vapour, without doubt, [...] when a Man does dye, they should not cry, that, His Glass is run, but, His Pipe is out. But whether we smoak, [...] or whether we sing, let's be Loyal, and remember the King; let him live, and let his Foes vanish, [...] thus, thus, thus, like, like a Pipe, like a Pipe of Spanish; thus, thus, like a Pipe of Spanish.

[Wine in the Morning; a Catch.]
66 [...] WIne, Wine in a Morning makes us Frolick and Gay, that like Eagles we soar in the [...] Pride of the Day, Gouty Sots in the Night on╌ly find a decay. 'Tis the Sun ripes the Grape, and to [...] Drinking gives light, we i╌mi╌tate him when by Noon we're at height, they steal Wine, who take it when [...] he's out of sight. Boy, fill all the Glasses, fill 'em up now he shines; the higher he rises, the [...] more he refines; but Wine and Wit palls, as their Maker declines.

[Tom of Bedlam: As it was sung at the Theater.]
25 [...] FOrth from the dark and dismal Cell, or from the deep A╌byss of Hell; mad Tom is come to [...] view the World again, to see if he can cure his distemper'd Brain: Fears and Cares oppress my Soul, [...] hark how the an╌gry Fu╌ries howl!

Through the World I wander night and day to find my stragling Senses, in an angry mood I [...] met old Time, with his Pentateuch of Tenses: When me he spies, a╌way he flies, for Time will stay for [...] no Man; in vain with Cries, I rend the Skies, for Pi╌ty is not common. Cold and comfort. [Page] [...] less I lye, Help! help! oh help! or else I dye! Hark, I hear Apollo's Team, the Carman' gins to whistle, [...] Chat Di╌a╌na bends her Bow, and the Boar begins to bristle: Come Vulcan with Tools and with [...] Tackles, to knock off my troublesom Shackles; bid Charles make ready his Wain, to bring me my [...] Senses a╌gain.

The Maids sit up, and [...] take their turns, if I stay long, the Tapster mourns; the Cook-maid has no mind to sin, tho' tempted [...] by the Chamberlain: But if I knock, oh how they brustle! the Ostlers yawn, the Geldings justle; and [...] if the Maid but sleep, oh how they curse her! and all this comes of, De╌li╌ver your Purse, Sir.

2 [...] THe Macedon Youth left behind him this Truth, That nothing was done with much thinking; he [...] drank, and he fought, and he got what he sought, and the World was his own by fair drinking: He [...] wash'd his great Soul in a plen╌ti╌ful Boul, he cast a╌way Trouble and Sorrow; his Mind did not [...] run of what was to be done, for he thought of to day, not to morrow.
