The wandering Virgin : Or , The Coy Lass well Fitted . Virgins whose coyness & disdain does prove The fatal ruine of cemented Love , Learn , and beware , lest you like me cry out I 'le find my Love , or search the world about To the Tune of , Cloris awake , or the loving Chambermaid .

YOu Virgins so pretty hear what I relate , My case you may pitty , take heed of my fate : How I was forsaken you 'l hear it throughout , But I 'le travel the world o're to find my Love out . Since I was the cause that he first did disdain , My overmuch coyness both make him refrain : But now I must blush that it so comes about , I would give all the world I could find my Lov● out . Then straight my green gown into breeches i 'le make , And my long yellow Locks much shorter i 'le take : I 'le wander , i 'le Wander , I 'le wander about , And i 'le search all the world for to find my Love out . I 'le get me a switch and a sword by my side , A Horse B●●●●… and Spurs , and i 'le get up and ride : I 'le wander , i 'le wander , i 'le wander about , I 'le search all the world for to find my Love out .
The Second Part , to the same Tune .

My Love was a seemly and proper young youth , Though he did dissemble I took all for truth , So crafty in courtship I never did doubt But i de give all the world I could search my Love out . His forehead was smooth and his locks they were curld And him I ador'd above all in the world : His tongue went so smoothly in Courtship profound That I must have my Love though I search the world round . His Musical voice it did make me admire His courtship and carriage did set me on fire : I lov'd him so dearly which makes me cry out I●l find him , or wander the world all about . What fancy hath took him I much do admire That he should reject the Love he did require : And since he is gone I will wander about And i le search all the world but i le find my Love out . My breath it grows short and my face pale and wan Which makes me admire the power of the man : My heart it doth tremble , which makes me to doubt I shall want of my wits if I find him not out . Since Love I adore thee , why shouldst thou disdain The suit of thy Lover , that 's subject to pain ? Be Kinder unto me , and ease all my doubt , For I 'le search all the World , but I 'le find my Love out . I 'le travell the Desarts , where fancy me leades , Through Groves , Fields , & Forrests through Fountains , & Medes , To find out my Dearest i 'le gallop about , And I 'le range the wide world , for to find my Love out . I 'le search over England , to see if 't contain ; If not , i 'le turn Sailor , and search on the Main , The Ocean , so boundless , i 'le travell about , I 'le range the wide world , but i 'le find my Love out . My Maidenhead-Iewell it still is my own ; But if he had ask'd me , be sure it had gone : Then Maids have a care ; lest like me you cry out , I 'le find him , or wander the world all about .
