john Robinson's Park, Or a merry fit of Wooing.  
Within a Park a young Man met a Maid  
With courting and sporting the Damsel with him stayed  
In pastime and pleasure she uttered her mind  
Saying pray thee sweet honey be loving and kind,  

 

AS I went through  
John Robinson's Park,  
I heard a Bir● singing  
which pleased my heart:  
It pleased my heart  
and contented my mind,  

Saying pray thee sweet honey  
be loving and kind.    

Be loving and kind Love  
and take my advice,  
And be no more cheated  
at Cards or at Dice,  
For the Cards and the Dice  
Love, will do the much harm,  

Then stay at home Honey  
to keep thy love warm.    

Sweet honey make much  
of thy Fallow Dear,  
To hurt them and chase them  
thou needst not to fear;  
Take pleasure at home  
to content thy mind,  

And I pray thee sweet honey  
be loving and kind.    

To take my advice,  
it will do thee good,  
To increase thy hearth  
and nourish thy blood,  
It will be to thy pleasure  
and content my mind.  

Then pray thee s●eet honey  
be loving and kind.    

Within thy own Park, Love  
thou hast a pure do,  
To hunt at thy pleasure  
full well thou dost know,  
Then take thy fill  
to content thy mind,  

Then I pray thee sweet honey  
be loving, &c,    

Uncouple your Dogs  
and sound up thy horn,  
And lay them on closely  
thy do for to chase,  
For better thou may hunt her  
from Evening till Morn,  

while I in my arms ●ove  
Thy body embrace.     

The second part  
to the same Tune.

And let the Beugle horn

So meerily ran the hounds  
all on a row.    

Here's Nectar and Hector  
and Samson so strong,  
And Lily white Larkin

He took up his Dogs

The pleasure and pastime

Saying pray thee sweet honey

Well now my swyet honey

The cards and the Dice, Love,

For many a time

Now I'll stay at home honey

Delighted myself

And when the night came  
I have chaste the wild do  

But now I intent Love  
to do no more so.    

Come all you brave Huntsmen,

The sound of the Horn  
will run still in your mind.

To say pray the sweet, etc.    

As late in an evening  
I chanced to walk  
I heard a young couple  
most lovingly talk.  
But what they did else  
It must stay behind,  

Saying, etc.    

Their sport being ended  
always they did go  
This gallant brave Keeper  
and his Fallow do.  
For sporting and courting  
he had pleased her mind,  

Saying pray thee sweet honey  
be loving and kind.     
FINIS.
