can be; For if you should chance to get me with Kid, I'll lay the poor Brat to the _Irish Jigg_. The Dance being ended as you may see, We rose by Consent and we both went away; I put on my Cloaths and left her to grow big, And so I went Roaring the _Irish Jigg_. _A_ SONG. [Music] It was a happy Golden Day, When fair _Althea_ Kind and Gay, Put all but Love and me away; I arm'd with soft Words did Address, Sweet and kind Kisses far express, A greater Joy and Happiness. Nature the best Instructeress cry'd, Her Ivory Pillows to divide, That Love might Sail with Wind and Tide; She rais'd the Mast and sail'd by it, That Day two Tides together met, Drove him on Shore soon dropping wet. _A_ SONG. [Music] Ah! _Caelia_ how can you be Cruel and Fair? Since removing, The Charms that are loving, 'Twould make a poor Lover Despair; 'Tis true, I have lov'd you these seven long Years & more, Too long for a Man that ne'er was in Love before: And if longer you my Caresses deny, I then am resolv'd to give over my Flames and die.

If you will go along with me, Unto my Father's Hall, Sir; You shall enjoy my Maiden-head, And my Estate and all, Sir: So he mounted her on a milk-white Steed, Himself upon another; And then they rid upon the Road, Like Sister and like Brother. And when she came to her Father's House, Which was moated round about, Sir; She stepped streight within the Gate, And shut this Young Knight out, Sir, Here is a Purse of Gold, she said, Take it for your Pains, Sir; And I will send my Father's Man, To go home with you again, Sir. And if you meet a Lady fair, As you go thro' the next Town, Sir; You must not fear the Dew of the Grass, Nor the rumpling of her Gown, Sir: And if you meet a Lady Gay, As you
