I Am a Blade That from an old Trade , Have taken out a new one T is onely this , To Court and Kiss Swear Oaths and nere a true one I can tell an hundred lyes , And a thousand more devise , Never was the like since Adam , I can Fetter whom I please , With a Flattering disease , And your humble Servants Madame . The Warrs are done , And I must run A Course that may Pr 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 me Should I rely . On Honesty , It were the way to 〈◊〉 me ▪ I ha' giv'n away my 〈◊〉 For a Perriwigg and Muff , And an Art no Wit can Fadom : I have got a Place at Court , Never paid a Penny for 't , But your humble Servant Madame . Whilst a Cavelier Both lean and ●ear And almost like to Sta●d● is A Ladies Letter , Shall be better Then all his Iron Service . When I found out what would doo 't Straight I put a Lady too 't , What things I lackt I had 〈◊〉 , Nothing did I give for this , But a promise and a kiss , With your humble Servant Madam .

MY Courtiers Place , Doth give me grace , And Pimp unto my Trade is ; The Devill and I , In Ambush lye To Catch all kind of Ladies ; I can call 'um pritty Souls , ●ough they be as old as Pouls , Then I a bonny Lad am ; 〈…〉 the Women I Trappan Fetch 'um off and bring 'um on , With your humble Servant Madam . ●ome give me Rings , And better a Things , So cunning is my carriage , To every soul , Both fair and fowl I promise lawfull Marriage . I have got so many Wives , If I had as many Lives , I should be as old as Adam . But before we go to Church , I 'll leave them in the lurch . With your humble Servant Madam . When I find a Face ▪ Of a stately Grace , That would have all adore her , A Knight-hood I Get presently And that I spread before her : So I may get somthing by 't ▪ I can quickly be a knight ; If a Litle will perswade 'um I can tell um that they shall , Answer to no other call But your humble Servant Madam . If I see one that Is given to th●tt , I praise her Ingenuity : When I take a Prize With the black Eyes , I call her Queen of Beauty If another merry be I can laugh as well as she When she asks , I monstrous sad am But if I find her in a b●●t , I can fit her for the foot With your humble Servant Madam . All Passions I , Can falsifie , 〈…〉 my Trade is , I have of late Gain'd an Estate My humouring of Ladies And I very well do find , What I fit them in their kind For I've ●e●u●l●d Adam Woman first did ransom Man But I 〈◊〉 them agen . With your humble Servant Madam .
