The Gowlin: Or, A Pleasant Fancy for the Spring.  
Being a brisk Encounter betwixt a Scotch Leard, and a buxom Begger-wen●●  
He captivated was at the first sight,  
Not with her gay attire, but beauty bright:  
He wooed and won her for to serve his will,  
Yet he's a Leard, and she a beggar still.  
To a New Playhouse Tune: Or, See the Gowlin my Jo, etc.  
With Allowance.  
 

A Broad as I was walking,  
upon a Summer's day,  
There I met a Beggar wench  
clothed all in grey:  
Her clothes they were so torn,  
you might a seen her skin,   

She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin:  
Ah! To see the Gowlin my Jo,  
to see the Gowlin;  
She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin.   

You Gallants of delight  
pray take it not in scorn,  
She came of Adam's seed,  
though she was basely born;  
And though her clothes were ragged  
she had a Milk white skin,   

She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin:  
Ah! To see the, etc.   

She had a pretty little foot,  
and a moist hand;  
For which she might compare  
with any Lady in the Land:  
Ruby Lips, Cherry Cheeks,  
and a dimpled Chin;   

She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin  
Ah! To see the, etc.:   

Her features did so tempt me,  
I could not be at rest;  
But I must fall aboard on her,  
although she was undressed:  
I bid her take it quietly  
and not make any din,   

She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin:  
Ah! To see the Gowlin my Jo,  
to see the Gowlin;  
She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin.   

The Second Part, to the same Tune.  

At first she seemed Squeamish,  
and blushed to see me smile;  
But I began to sweeten her,  
and pause a little while:  
At length I told her plainly  
'twas but a venial sin,   

She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin:  
Ah! To see the Gowlin my Jo,  
to see the Gowlin;  
She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin.   

hen that I had wooed her,  
and wed her to my will;  
I could not then devise a way  
to keep the Baby still:  
She bid me be at quiet,  
she valued not a pin,   

She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin:  
Ah! To see the, etc.   

I found her free and frolic,  
and ready for to sport;  
My arms I then did handle,  
with speed to storm the Fort:  
Quo I my blithe and bonny Lass,  
it's time for to begin,   

She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin:  
Ah! To see the Gowlin my Jo, etc.   

Then she took her Bern up  
and wrapped it we'll in clothes,  
And then she took a Gowlin  
and stuck between her Toes;  
And ever as the Lurden cried,  
and made any din,  
She shook her Foot, and sung to't,   

see the Gowlin:  
Ah! see the Gowlin my Jo, etc.   

hen as we came to the embrace,  
I made not many brags;  
But with all the skill I had,  
I folded up her Rags:  
And then no matter what I did,  
Or what she did again,   

She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin:  
Ah! To see the Gowlin my Jo, etc.   

When I had satisfied my sense,  
by doing of the feat,  
She motion's made to me again,  
my Lesson to repeat:  
But I began to have enough  
of play, at In, and In,   

She was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin:  
Ah! To see, etc.   

I bid her to be silent,  
and gave her a Gold Ring,  
Becase she was a bonny Lass,  
and fit to do the thing;  
And so I left the Beggar wench,  
that had so white a skin,   

Who was the first that taught me  
to see the Gowlin:  
Ah! To see, etc.   

The Gowlin is a yellow Flower  
that grows upon the plains,  
Which often times is gathered  
by nymphs, and shepherd swains;  
When youngsters walk upon the down  
they think it a fine thing,   

To give their Sweethearts a green gown  
and see the Gowlin:  
Ah! To see the Gowlin my Jo,  
to see the Gowlin;  
To give their Sweethearts a green gown,  
and see the Gowlin.
