Coy Jenny.
A SONG.
I
For God's-sake—nay, dear Sir,Lord, what do You mean?
I protest, and I vow Sir,
Your ways are obscene.
II
Pray give over, O! fie,Pish, leave of your fooling,
Forbear, or I'll cry,—
I hate this rude doing.
III
Let me die if I stay,Does the Devil possess You;
Your hand take away,
Then perhaps I may bless You.
