The Merry MAN'S Resolution Or a LONON Frolic.  
He goes a wooing yet the matters so,  
He cares not much whether he speeds or no,  
'Cause City Wives and Wenches are so common  
He thinks it hard to find an honest women  
Bened angry with this fellow I protest  
That many a true word hath been spoke in jest,  
By degrees he lays a wager money's scant  
Until five shillings out, then ends his Rant.  
The Tune is much in Request, I'll hold thee five shillings.  
 

IF young Men & Maidens  
will listen a while  
I'll sing you a Sonnet  
will make you to smile  
Then come my own Dearest  
and be not so coy,  
Whatever thou fearest  
i'll get thee a boy.  
I'll hold thee a six pence  
'tis silver complete  
If thou art but willing  
I can do the feat.   

Then be not so scornful  
b●t loving anti Kind  
If thou will but kiss me  
i'll tell thee my mind  
For I am a Gallant  
that's versed in the trade  
I know what belongs to  
Wife, Widow and Maid  
I'll hold thee a willing  
as round as a King  
Those Lasses that kiss well  
loves the rather thing.   

Then dear let me feel if  
thy flesh it be warm  
For I vow and protest I  
will to thee no harm,  
But buddle and cuddle  
we'll toy and we'll kiss  
What hurt honest Neighbours  
can come of all this  
I'll hold you three six-pences  
in ready Coin  
Most G●●is when they're pleased  
with young men will join.   

BUt when they are sullin  
ne'er mattered a pin,  
But touse 'em and touse 'em  
'twill please 'em again  
And when you have done it,  
this story is true  
If you do but kiss 'em  
they'll strait ways kiss you  
I'll hold you two shillings  
lay with me that can  
The fairest ●…th Nation  
will lie with a man.   

Then why should young Females  
continue sonice,  
When Ladies of pleasure  
do count it no vice  
To be kind to their Neighbours  
as well as the rest  
For kissing and Courting  
is still in request,  
I'll hold two and six pence  
that's just half a crown  
Highest Girls in all Europe.  
are easiest blown down.   

To talk of Complexions  
too tedious it were,  
Or to know their conditions  
by th'colour of hair,  
Yet this i'll assure you,  
either Black, Red or Brown  
When they're in the humour  
they'll freely lie down  
I'll hold you three shillings  
who 'gainst me dare lay  
That Women delight much  
with young men to play.   

There's Mary & Betty,  
with Nancy & Joan,  
They'll lie with a Tinker  
ere they'll lie alone,  
There's Peg, Dol and Bridget  
Rebecca and Kate  
They laugh when they hear on't  
but long till they have't  
I'll hold thee three & six pence  
Maids love Men the best  
When they come a wooing  
in earnest not felt.   

Fine Susan and Sarah  
brave Lasses indeed  
Yet they'll lie with a Broom man  
if they stand in need,  
Likewise pretty Parnel  
and simpering Sisse  
When young men embrace them  
how kindly they kiss  
I'll hold you four shillings  
the nicest that be  
At one time or other  
makes use of a P—   

Then bear be contented  
for thou shalt have one,  
And shalt be prevented  
of lying alone:  
For I'm stout and lusty  
and fit for delight  
I'll hug thee & Kiss thee  
ten times in a night  
I'll hold four & six pence  
I'll hold thee no less  
I'll here a hole through thy coat  
then by guess.   

For I am an Archer,  
Well skilled in that Art  
Though I shoot at young Damsels  
they ne'er feel it smart  
I'll hold thee five shillings,  
i'll hold thee no more.  
I'll boar a hole through thy smock  
even before.  
This song throughout England  
on purpose I send  
To make young men merry,  
and there is an end.
