The fam'd Young Boufler.

I’M twenty Weeks married, and nothing but Grief,
I’m twenty Weeks married and finds no Relief,
I'm twenty Weeks married but yet am a Maid,
I'm ruin'd, I'm ruin'd, I'm ruin'd, ſhe ſaid.

I long to do as my Neighbours has done,
To have a fine Daughter, or a beautiful Son:
I long for to call up my Goſſipping Crew,
I'm ruin'd, I'm ruin'd, Oh, what ſhall I do!

There's Boufler in the Morning, and Boufler in Night,
And Boufler is all the young Ladies Delight;
The Ladies of Honour they'll give double Fees,
For Boufler to play between their two Knees.

My Boufler he is a bonny brisk Lad,
He cures the Green-ſickneſs though never ſo bad;
He cures the Green-ſickneſs, and other Diſeaſe,
Both Palſy and Gout, and old wrinkled Face.

If I had a Hundred bright Guineas in Gold,
And as many more as my Apron would hold,
I would give them all, and my Jewels too,
If that I could know what Boufler could do.

A young Man ſtood by and heard her ſad Grief,
I think in my Heart, I could give you Relief;
He pull'd up her Petticoats, and her Smock too,
Says he, now I'll ſhew you what Boufler can do.

With that the young Damſel began to look wild,
I think in my Heart you have got me with Child;
Had I not been married, I had been undone,
This Night you have got me with a Daughter or Son.

This Damſel ſhe ran to her Father's Whitehall,
And down on her bended Knees ſhe did fall;
Says, Pardon dear Father and Mother too,
For now I can ſhew you what Boufler can do.
Says, Pardon dear Father and Mother too,
For now I can call up my Goſſipping Crew.
