The young men all admires the sport,
they are so neat and handsome.
It is well kent, their face they paint,
they are so vain and idle,
To busk and dress more time they pass
then they do on their bible.
With muffs fans, and cardinals,
made of the finest scarlet?
They worn are I do declare,
by many a common harlot.
Their quality, come show to me,
you'll know it by their cleeding?
Dear neighbours then I'll tell you plain
you'll find it by their breeding.
They curse and swear and dominier,
and scold like any randy;
Their morning drink I railly think,
is whisky, gin or brandy.
And if they chance to prove with child
or lose their reputatiou,
then sets up a baudy house,
and that's their occupation,
