(6)
To kiſs with the maid when the miſtreſs is kind,
a gentleman ought to be loth, ſir,
But if the maid's ⟨faireſt⟩, your oath does not bind,
or you may, if you like it, kiſs both, ſir,
Kiſs away, both you may, ſweetly ſmack night and day,
If you like it, your bound by your oath, ſir.&c.
When you travel to Highgate, take this oath again,
and again like a ſound man, and true, ſir,
And if you have with you ſome more merry men,
be ſure you make them take it too, ſir.
Bleſs you, ſon, get you gone, frolick and fun,
Old England, and honeſt true blue, ſir.
Bleſs you, ſon, &c.
I TICKL’D EACH PHYZ.
LOndon town is juſt like a barber’s ſhop,
but by the lord harry 'tis wondrous big,
Then the painted dol and the powder'd fop,
and many a blockhead wears a wig.
And I tickled each Phyz, with a twiggle & a friz,
With a twiggle twiggle twiggle and a frizzel, &c.
A captain of horſe I went for to ſhave,
ho damme, ſays he, with a martial frown,
My razor I pois'd like a barber brave,
I took him by the noſe but he knock'd me down. yet, &c.
Then I went to a lawyer, oh rare ſport!
who had a falſe oath that day for to ſwear,
By my ſkill ſome trouble I fav'd the court,
my hot iron burned the lawyer's earFor, &c.
I next went to dreſs a fine grand miſs,
down the lady ſits and her neck ſhe bares,
But Cupid or the devil bid me ſnatch a kiſs,
ere my iron cool'd I was kick'd down ſtairs. For, &c.
I next went to dreſs an old maid's hair,
wrinkled and bald as a ſcalded pig;
But as ſhe led the dance down with a ſwimming air,
this fine old maiden ſhe drop'd her wig, Tho' &c.
