The Tinker's Courtship.
Come Jug, tho' thou'rt tawny,
I'll make thee my Honey,
Thou'rt youthful and charming,
Altho' thou'rt so brown;
Thy Features and Favours,
Thy Smiles and Behaviours,
To me are more warming,
Than Paint, Powder, Patches,
Fine Dresses, Gold-Watches,
Now worn by each Jilt of the Town.
I'll make thee my Honey,
Thou'rt youthful and charming,
Altho' thou'rt so brown;
Thy Features and Favours,
Thy Smiles and Behaviours,
To me are more warming,
Than Paint, Powder, Patches,
Fine Dresses, Gold-Watches,
Now worn by each Jilt of the Town.
I'll love thee and hug thee,
Lie close in cold Weather.
Then prithee now, Juggy,
Let's travel together.
Lie close in cold Weather.
Then prithee now, Juggy,
Let's travel together.
Our am'rous Souls we'll feast
Upon a Bed of Straw,
True Lovers want no Priest,
The honest need no Law.
Then be loving and kind, without further debate,
For to cozen the Church is the fashion of late.
