Dick & Nell, or, Linky Lanky/Dick & Nell; or, Linky Lanky

DICK and NELL, or LINKY LANKY.

COLD and peeviſh is the weather,
I hope this night will bring no harm,
Says Dick to Nell we'll ly together,
and we will keep each other warm.
Oh, then we will roll in ſoft delight,
I'll turn to my love and kiſs her too,
We will huddle cuddle all the night,
and do as father and mother do.

CHORUS.

With a flim flam I wou'd go to my love,
linky lanky, there, oh there,
With a twinketer, twanketer, tall lal lal,
ha, ha, ha, he lov'd her dear.

No, ſays Nell, I'll ly with no man,
for I have often heard it ſaid,
Men hath got poiſon to give to women,
and to be poiſon'd I'm afraid.
Or elſe ye might roll in ſoft delight, too,
you might turn to your love & kiſs her
You might huddle cuddle all the night,
and do as father and mother do, &c.

Oh! ſays Dick, the poiſon is pleaſant,
ſo pretty a doſe you never had,
It would get us both lads and laſſes,
that would make you mam & I ll be dad.

Oh! how we would roll in ſoft delight,
I'd turn to my love and kiſs her too,
We would huddle cuddle all the night,
and do as father and mother do, &c.

Many perſuaſions Dick made nſe of,
but all his rhetoric prov'd in vain,
Unleſs that he would promiſe to marry her,
not one kiſs could he obtain,
Or elſe he might roll'd in ſoft delight,
he might turn to his love & kiſs her too,
He might huddl'd cuddl'd all the night;
and do as father and mother do, &c.

The very next morning they were marry'd,
and to be poifon'd Nell was not afraid,
For Dick and Nell they lay together,
and Dick he got her maiden-head,
Oh then they did roll in ſoft delight,
he turn'd to his love and kiſs'd her too,
They did huddle cuddle all the night;
and did as father and mother do.
With a flim flam I will go to my love,
linky lanky, there, oh! there,
With a twinketer twanketer, tall lal lal,
ha, ha, ha, he lov'd her dear.
