ON THE MARRIAGE OF Mr BULL PREACHER AND Mrs MARY ------
As o'er the Seas, the God that Lap a'
The Bony Lasses, bore Europa
In form a Bull he did her carry
Sae Mr Bul o'er the Queens ferry
Transported his red headed Mary
The Bul of Bulls great Jove was fired
with Lust & streight to consumate retired
but tho a God was quickly tired
when he had done he Bravely Scorns
to be confined and draps his Horns
casts aff his Cloven Cutes & Syne
forsakes poor Miss & turns Divine
The Bony Lasses, bore Europa
In form a Bull he did her carry
Sae Mr Bul o'er the Queens ferry
Transported his red headed Mary
The Bul of Bulls great Jove was fired
with Lust & streight to consumate retired
but tho a God was quickly tired
when he had done he Bravely Scorns
to be confined and draps his Horns
casts aff his Cloven Cutes & Syne
forsakes poor Miss & turns Divine
Our Christian Bull tret his with honour
with Rings and Rites & fleeching won her
woo'd Closs & keen made her his wife
and swore to be her Stot for life
and ran his nodle in a noose
nane less divine than Jove can loose
and tho his horns are scarcly sprouted
that they may Lenthen is not doubted
with Rings and Rites & fleeching won her
woo'd Closs & keen made her his wife
and swore to be her Stot for life
and ran his nodle in a noose
nane less divine than Jove can loose
333
that they may Lenthen is not doubted
O Mary gently guide thy Bull
Tho his Divinity grow dull
and like Europa safe to sail
hald by his horns & steer his Tail
Tho his Divinity grow dull
and like Europa safe to sail
hald by his horns & steer his Tail
