I 'll make thee be fain to follow me . A NEW SONG . To its own proper Tune . OF late a Dispute did happen to pass , 'Twixt a lusty Soger and a young Lass , My Honey and Life I Love thee ( quoth he ) I 'll make thee be fain to follow me . 2. To follow thee that 's a Soger Dad , All Persons that know me wou'd think me mad ; No Battel I ever did covet to see , So cannot be fain to follow thee . 3. My dear never fear the hazard of war , I of my Dear Jewel will take special care And from all dangers will set thee free , If thou wilt consent to follow me . 4. I cannot endure your pitiful Pay We 'll never live well on Sixpence a Day ; By Nature we 're taught to shun Povertie , I 'll never be fain to follow thee . 5. What if I 'm prefer'd by an Officer's fall . O then you 're call'd Madam by great and small ; Such things has happened oft-times we do see . I 'll make thee be fain to follow me . 6. I fear then you 'l lead a prodigal Life , Not value you 're weded , and slight your poor Wife , And probably Love some other than me , I 'll never be fain to follow thee . 7. No , no , my Dear I 'll ever prove true , My Love I will keep entirely for you , A kind loving Husband I vow I will be : Now therefore consent to follow me . 8. Since this you do swear I 'll deny you no more . Your Faith and your Honour lies on this score ; Upon these Conditions thy Wife I will be : And now I am bound to follow thee . FINIS .
