THE COALIER LASSIE  
A NEW SONG To its own proper Tune.  

THe Coalier had a Daughter,  
And she is wondrous bonny;  
But if your had once brought her  
To a true sense of Joy,  
Although she struggle for a while  
yet you'll won about her,  
If once her Heart you can beguile  
you'll never go without her.   

Although at first she may deny,  
yet you must pursue her:  
Her Modesty will make her cry,  
your Rudeness will undo her.  
But with a forward brisk Address  
unto the point intended;  
First you must Kiss & then Caress,  
and so the Matter's ended.   

This was the method that I used  
while she was denying;  
And ay the more that she refused  
the more I was applying:  
Till the Key of her Virginity  
to me she did deliver;  
Tho' I like not the Affinity  
to receive it was clever.   

How happy then's the Landwart  
that is the Coaliers Master  
For he may speak a word with her Laird  
when she lies down to rest her.  
And when her Father's at his Kaill,  
and from his hand not missed her:  
I'll warrant you she'll never sail  
to thank the Lad last kissed her.   
FINIS.
