Scotch Souldiers Kindness .

It being the Sorrowful Ditty of Fifty Young Damsels of Southwark , who lately lost their Maiden-heads with those Valiant Souldiers lately Quartered in that Place .

Stout Souldiers then are Valiant Men , Their Fame will ever Ring , We may admit that they should get Brave Souldiers for the KING : In Warlike Fights , both Lords and Knights , And Valiant Souldiers dye , Then well may they with Damsels play , To get a New Supply . To the Tune of , The Crafty Miss .

This may be Printed , R. L. S. Iune 25.

SCotch Jemmy , and Iockey , and Sawny , with many brisk Lads of that Land , Stout hearted Couragious and brawny , brave Boys that were under command : Near Southwark a while they remained , where Damsels they daily did court , Their favour they quickly obtained , and then there was sport upon sport . Those Lads were both Iovial and Iolly , as Blith as the Birds in the Spring With Ienny , and Maudlin , and Dolly , they boldly did run at the Ring : Those girls when the bargin was making they vow'd they should play in the dark , But yet if I am not mistaken , there s none could come nearer the mark It seems there is forty or fifty young Girls that for gaming did strive , But yet they were wondrous thrifty , for now they do happily thrive : And also respect without measure , those Souldiers they then did adore , Since they were endu'd with that treasure they never enjoyed before .

But while they were Courting and to●ing they thought it would never be day , But now comes the woful annoying when thence they were Marching away Then Margery , Winny , and Mary , with Iude , and Gillian , and Kate Young Nelly , and Susan , and Sarah , a pittiful Tale did relate . Ah this is their sorrowful ditty , to see they are utterly left , Their friends will afford them no pitty , now they of all joys are bereft : Quoth Doll let us draw a Petition to send to the Captain with speed , Wherein we 'l declare our condition , quoth Iude let this be agree'd . They sent for a Scrivener to write it , a neighbour that lived hath by , He had a cure wit to Indite it , and knew how the mater did lye : O this is our hearty desire , to marry and make us their Bride , Our love shall be always intire , we 'l follow the Camp by their side . Their Writeing they thought to deliver , and Husbands they thought to obtain , Poor girls they did use their endeavour , but still it did prove but in vain : They are in a woeful condition , alas they look pitiful man , For when they came with their Peti●… the Captain and Souldiers were O then what a woeful Narration , these fifty young Damsels did ma●… Being crossed in their expectation , they knew not what course for to t●●● Then Mandlin with Iudé and Betty , together with all the whole train , Did ●ound ●●th their sorrowful Dit●… and weeping they sigh and compla●… But seen git hath been out folly , no remedy now can be made , Come let us be ruled by Dolly , how thus in discretion hath said : My Sisters why should we be daunt●… and Iude was just of that mind , We will not with sorrows be haunt●… for once being loving and kind . We 'l leave it Girls when we grow o●… now since it is gone let it go , I am glad that upon a brave Sculd● my Maiden-head I did bestow : Then follow my kind exhortation , and on it we 'l set a good face , We 'l frat not the Worlds exc●amati●● a Fig for the thoughts of disgrace .
