THE Trappand Cuckold-maker. OR, Yea-and-Nay well fitted.

A Baker went with full intent,

a Beauty to adore;

Thus Yea and Nay, did run astray,

But he'll do so no more.

THere was of late a Cuckold-maker,

if you will believe the truth;

Yea and nay, he was a Quaker,

yet he us'd the tricks of youth.

On a day it chanced so.

He would to his Neighbour go,

When her Husband want within,

This discourse he did begin,

Saying, if thou wilt me obey,

I'le tender thee by yea and nay.

Love let me have my Hearts desire,

wherefore shouldst thou say me nay;

Beauty sets my Heart on fire,

little Lambs thou knowst will play:

Since I have my love reveal'd,

Prithee dearest do but yield,

I will be a constant friend,

When I cannot come I'le send,

Thee many presents, day by day,

And love thee too by yea and nay.

The Woman then with modest blushes,

in a passion she revil'd;

But the Quaker often Hushes,

her, to be mor [...] kind and mild:

Thus he whisp [...]rs [...]n her Ear,

Tush, said he, thou needst not fear,

Any manner of disgrace,

We may freely here embrace:

Then prithee make no more delay,

I love thee well by yea and nay.

Thus he endeavour'd to delude her,

but she answer'd him, and said,

Never was a Man more ruder,

yet I will not be betray'd

To your humours, no not I,

Therefore make no more reply,

Then he catch'd her in his arms,

Saying, those alluring charms,

My heart and senses does betray,

I love thee well by yea and nay.

She found he would not be contented,

no denyal would he take,

Therefore she a Trick invented,

and to him she thus did speak;

If I do commit this Crime,

It must be some other time,

Come to me too morrow night,

Thou shalt have thy Hearts delight;

I will be sure, he then did say

To come, my dear, by yea and nay

He thought she had the truth related,

seeing she had told him when;

Therefore home he went and waited,

thinking every hour ten,

To her Husband she did tell,

E'ry thing that had befell;

Now when she had this declar'd,

For his coming they prepar'd.

As you shall hear: then listen pray,

They were too hard for yea and nay.

Now when the hour was expir'd,

to her Chamber then he came,

To enjoy what he desir'd,

of this fair and comely Dame,

When he was come in the room,

Presently he did presume

To embrace the Beauty fair,

Thinking no one had been there,

Her Husband rushing in straightway,

Alas! this daunted yea and nay.

The good man vow'd he would not take it

she had left him in the lurch,

Yea and nay was almost naked,

when with two stout rods of Birch.

He did lash both Leggs and Hips,

Round the room he [...]ips and skips,

With his sad and mournful Cryes,

Tears they trickle from his Eyes.

O pardon me good Sir, I pray,

I'le come no more by yea and nay.

O why shouldst thou thy Heart so harden:

let some pitty now be found,

Giving me thy gracious pardon,

here I'le give thee thirty pound;

Tho I once have done amiss,

Do not tell the World of this:

If I pardon you therefore,

See you tempt my Wife no more.

The ready money he did pay,

He would not trust poor yea and nay.

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).
