A Pleasant Discourse OF A Young Gentle-woman to her Husband THE QUAKER.  
To the Tune of, Let Mary live long.  

A Citizens Wise I am, I declare it,  
I solemnly swear it,

To the Tavern I go.  
And as for my Hushand and as for my Husband  
he dare not say no.

Five hundred pounds in a portion I brought him  
good saith I have taught him.  
His duty and found him willing to please,  
Like a servant I have  
My Admiral slave  
he is brought to my Bow,  
If I'll have rich Jewels, &c,  
he dare not say no.   

( 3)  
My dotting old man  
is late turned a Quaker,  
and I'm a Cockle-maker,  
Yet do what he can,  
My frolic I'll have,  
Rich Top-knots I'll wear  
And powdered hair,  
Like a lady I'll go  
The Quaker my Husband, &c.  
he dare not say no.

In London I dwell  
where I at my pleasure  
do revel in Treasure

nay the best in the town  
Like a lady I'll go.  
The Quaker my Husband, &c:  
he dare not say no,

When ever Idine  
Rich Tent with canary.  
Nay Ranish and cherry,  
And all sorts Wine

As I am a true Wife  
The liquour of Life.  
I love to see flow  
The Quaker my Husband &c,   

( 6)  
What if a brisk Blade  
should happen to meet me,  
And proffer to treat me,  
should I be afraid  
To venture with him,

But I'll freely comply

The Quaker my Husband &c.

It's not yea, nay, shall ever bower, rule me,  
or any ways fool me.  
I will have my way,

Shall my beautieful Charms  
in an old Quakers arms  
Be frozen, faith no,  
I will have my Humors  
I will have my Humors,  
he door not say no.
