OH Mother! Roger with his kisses,

almost stops my breath I vow,

Why does he gripe my hand to pieces

and yet he says he loves me too:

Tell me Mother, pray now do,

pray now do, pray now do,

Tell me mother, pray now do,

Pray now, pray now, pray now do,

What Roger means when he does so,

for ne'r stir, I long to know.

Nor yet besides he will not let me,

settle to my wheel and spin

But upon his knee will set me,

mother when you an't within,

Tell me mother, &c.

Although I vow he does provoke me,

yet he will not once forbear,

But most tenderly did stroak me,

till he makes me blush I swear:

Tell me Mother, pray now do,

pray now do, pray now do,

Tell me mother, pray now do,

Pray now, pray now, pray now do,

What Roger means when he does so,

for ne'r stir, I long to know.

Thus whilst he talks of pure affection,

Roger on my breast he leans,

Mother give me your direction,

for I know not what he means:

Tell me mother, &c.

And what he said concerning Wooing

now I clearly have forgot,

Yet he fain would have been doing

something but I know not what:

Tell me mother, &c.

Although I am both coy and fickle,

yet he calls me his delight,

And my sides he does so tickle,

that he makes me laugh out-right:

Tell me mother, pray now do,

pray now do, pray now do;

Tell me mother, pray now do,

Pray now, pray now, pray now do,

What Roger means when he does so,

for ne'r stir I long to know.

The Mothers direction to her Daughter; Together with Rogers Loyalty.

Dear Daughter that you mayn't miscarry,

Rogers courage never cool.

Till you marry make him tarry,

pray now take your mothers rule:

My dear Daughter, pray now then,

pray now then, pray now then,

Maids are too much slighted when,

They have yielded to Young-men,

For they can flatter, cog and lye,

and all their promises deny.

But if his love be so intire,

when the Nuptial Bands are ty'd,

You may yield to his desire,

being made his lawful Bride:

If you cannot this obtain,

this obtain, this obtain,

Then his company refrain,

With your Scorn and high disdain,

For should you grant him his delight,

then Daughter you are ruin'd quite.

But Roger he was something near them

in a corner mighty mute,

Where he chanc'd to over hear them,

while they were in this dispute:

Notwithstanding what he heard,

what he heard, what he heard,

For a while he ne'r appear d,

But at last the case he clear'd,

And told them that he did suppose,

they did not think him one of those.

Now when her Mother found him loyal,

by his honest fair intent,

Then there needed no denyal,

soon she gave her free consent,

That her Daughter should be wed,

should be wed, should be wed,

To his lawful bridal bed,

All her fears was fully fled;

Then many Damsels fair and gay,

did come to celebrate the day.

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).
