An Excellent New Playhouse SONG Call'd , The West-Country Fairing Or ▪ Dicks Present to Doll Under the Barly Mow. T Was when the Sheep were shearing , and under the Barly Mow , Dick gave to Doll a Eairing , as she had milk'd her Cow . Quoth He I fain would wed thee , and tho' I cannot wooe , I 've hey pish , hey cock , hey and hey for a Boy , sing , shall I come kiss thee now , sling , ah ! shall I come , shall I come kiss thee now , I long sweetheart to Bed thee , and merrily Buckle too , with hey pish hey cock , hey and hey for a Boy , Sing , shall I come kiss thee now , sing , ah ! shall I come , shall I come kiss thee now Doll seem'd not to regard him , As if she did not care , Yet simper'd when she heard him , Like any Millers Mare , And cunningly to prove him , And value her Maidenhead , Cry'd , fye nay pish , nay fye , and prithee stand by For I am too young to Wed , For I am too I am too young to Wed , 〈◊〉 said she ne'er could love him , 〈◊〉 or any Man else in Bed . 〈◊〉 fye pish fye , nay prithee stand by , 〈◊〉 I am too young to wed , 〈◊〉 I am too ▪ I am too young to Wed. Like one that s struck with Thunder , Stood Dicky to hear her talk . All hops to get her under , This sad resolve did balk , At last he swoar , grown bolder , He 'd hire some common-Sow , For hey pish hey and hey for a Boy , Sing shall I come kiss the now , Sing shall I come shall I come kiss thee now , In loving Arms did fold her , Ere sneak , and cringe and cry , With hey pish hey cock hey and hey for a Boy , Sing shall I come kiss thee now , Sing ah ! shall I come , shall I come kiss thee now , Convinced other coy Folly , And stubborn Female will , Poor Dol grew malancholly , The Grift went by her mill hope she cry'd you'r wiser , Then credit what I have said , Tho I cry , hey fie , and pish , and prithee stand by , That I am too young too wed , That I am too , I am too young to wed , Bring you the Church adviser , And dress up the bridal Bed , Then try , tho I cry fye and pish and prethe stand by If I am too young to wed , That I am too , I am too young to wed .
