The Wanton Wife of Castle-Gate : Or , The Boat-mans Delight . To its own proper New Tune .

FArewel both Hauk and Hound , farewel both Shaft and Bow : Farewel all merry pastimes and pleasures on a row : Farewel my best Beloved in whom I put my trust For it 's neither grief nor sorrow shall harbour in my breast . When I was in my prime and in my youthful days , Much mirth and merry pastime and pleasure had always , But now my mind is charged , and alter'd very sore , Because my best beloved will fancy me no more . I lov'd her , and I prov'd her , and I call'd her my dear ; But alas my beloved would not let me come near : I often would have kist her , but she always said me nay . More as ten times have I blest her since that she went away . Tinkers they are Drunkards , and Masons they are blind , And Boat-men they make Cuckolds ; because they 'r used kind But if you meet a bonny Lass with black and rowling eyes , You must kiss her and embrace her , you may know the reason why .

You must hug her and kiss her and strive to make her yield , For a faint-hearted Soldier did never gain the Field . So strive to lay her down there and give the thing you know And when that she receives it , she 'l be loath to let you go . There lives a Wife in Castle Gate . but I 'le not declare her name ; She is both brisk and buxome , and fitted for the Game ; She can knip it she can trip it , as she treads along the Plain ; Till she meet some jolly Boat-man that will turn her back again . Her Husband is a quiet man , and an honest man is he ; And for to wear the Horns sir contented he must be : He may wind them at his leisure and do the best he can , For his Wife will have her pleasure with a jolly Boat-man . At Pomfret Clock and Tower there 's Gold and Silver store ; I have therefore to find her , and then brave boys we 'l rore . We 'l drink Sherry and be merry , we 'l have beer and ale good store , And drink to my Lass and thy Lass , and all good Lasses more . My love she is a fair one , and a bonny one is she : Most dearly do I love her , her name is Mally . Her Cheeks are like the Roses , that blossoms fresh in June , O she 's like some new-strung Instrument that 's newly put in tune . O my Mally , my honey , O can thou fancy me , Then let us to bed haste , where we will merry be . For good Gold and Silver for thee I 'le take care And for a large pairs of Horns for thy Husband to wear . You young men and Batchelors that hears this pritty Iest Be not of the Opinion this couple did profess , But be kind to your wives , and your sweet-hearts alway : And God will protect you ▪ by night and by day .
