The Merry MANS Resolution Or, A LONDON 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 lays a wager money's scant,
Untill five Shillings out, then ends his Rant.
T. J.
The Tune is much in Request, Ile hold thee five Shillings.
IF young Men and Maidens
will listen a while,
Ile sing you a Sonnet
will make you to smile,
Then come my own Dearest
and be not so coy,
Whatever thou fearest
ile get thee 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
but loving and kind,
If thou wilt but kisse 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 shilling
as round as a Ring,
Those Lasses that kisse well,
loves the tother thing.
Then Dear let me feel if
thy flesh it be warm,
For I vow and protest I
will do thee no harm,
But huddle and cuddle,
wee'l toy and wee'l kisse,
What hurt honest Neighbours
can come of all this,
Ile hold you three six-pences
in ready Coin,
Most Girls when they'r pleased
with young Men will join.
The Second Part,
to the same Tune.
BUt when they are sullin
ne're matter't a pin,
But rouxe'um and touz'um
'twill please um again:
And when you have done it,
this story is true,
If you do but kisse um
they'l straight ways kiss you.
Ile hold you two shillings,
lay with me that can,
The fairest i'th' Nation
will lie with a Man.
Then why should young Females
Continue so nice,
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 complections
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
they'l freely lie down.
Ile hold you three shillings
who 'gainst me dare lay
That women delight much
with young men to play.
There's Mary and Betty,
with Nancy and Jone,
They'l lie with a Tinker
ere they'l lie alone.
There's Peg, Dol and Bridget
Rebecca and Kate,
They laugh when they hear on't
but long till they hav't
Ile hold three and six-pence
Maids love Men the best,
When they come a woeing
in earnest not jeast.
Fine Susan and Sarah,
brave Lasses indeed,
Yet they'l ly with a Broom-man
if they stand in need,
Likewise pretty Parnel,
and simpering Sisse
When young Men imbrace them
how kindly they kisse
Ile hold you four shillings
the nicest that be,
At one time or other
makes use of a P—
Then dear 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 and kisse thee
ten times in an night
Ile hold four and six-pence
Ile hold thee no less,
Ile bore a hole through thy coat
even 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,
I'le 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.
Finis.
