A Gamester and a pretty Lady , went together for to play , Richly deckt , as fine as may be , on a pleasant Holly-day . With a pish , nay fie , you must not dally , pray leave off , where you begun ; For if you touch my naked Belly , I am sham'd and quite undone . This gallant he had rich attire , with his fine Semarr , and Sash , Love had set his heart on fire , he was braver then Dick Swash ; With a pish , nay fie , &c. With his Golden Hilted Rapier , and his Muff hung in a string , And his Wigg , how he did vapour , he was fine as any thing : With a pish , nay fie , &c. His Lady she was very splendant , both behind , and eke before , With her Bracelets , Peak , and Pendant , and her long strip't Iusticore ; With a pish , nay fie , you must not dally , pray leave off , where you begun ; For if you touch my naked belly , I am sham'd and quite undone .
The second part , to the same Tune . HEr Lipps more pure then any Amber and her Neck as white as Snow , I wish I had her in my Chamber , I would serve her I know how : with a pish , nay fie , you must not dally , pray leave off , where you begun , For if you touch my naked Belly , I am sham'd and quite undone . To speak truth , she was a beauty , of a rare vermilion hue , To admire her , was my duty , had you séen her , so would you : with a pish , nay fie , &c. Hand in hand they walk't together , glorious as the morning bright , Casting glances each at other , as fore-runners of delight . with a pish , nay fie , you must not dally , pray leave off , where you begun , For if you chance to raise my belly , I am sham'd and quite undone . Coy she was , as e're was creature , loath to yield to his desire , Viewing of each comely fea●ure , set this gallants heart on fire : with a pish , nay fie , &c. With Complements he courted highly , for to win her to his will , She reply'd to him as slil● , making this her burden still ; with a pish , nay fie , &c. Dearest Lady give attention , seal this motion if you can , For to my best apprehension , you were made to please a man : with a pish , nay fie , &c. Goddess Venus was the fairest , for lame Vulcan far unfit , Yet you see the choice and rarest , sometimes yeilds to take a bit : with a pish , nay fie , &c. As this Goddess was your pattern , prove a Votaress to her shrine , Let me only raise your Apron , and for ever you are mine : with a pish , nay fie , &c. Quoth she , though Venus was a wanton , and a Girl that lov'd the Game , Have you nothing else to vaunt on , thereby others to defame : with a pish , nay fie , &c. With such delays and scornful carriage , she would put him to a stand , Thinking so to cool his courage , but he would not be trappand : with a pish , nay fie , &c. Like bold Mars , he clipt his Venus , whilst his heart was on a flame , ( Not regarding Vulcan jealous ) hotly he pursu'd the game : with a pish , nay fie , &c. Little Cupid being playing , néer unto them in that field , Paid her home for her gain-saying , with one shoot he made her yeild . with a pish , nay fie , &c. This gallant finding her so plyant , and her coyness over-past , Stout and bold as any Gyant , thought it time for to make hast : with a pish , nay fie , &c. Vnto a private place he led her , where such lovers do resort , And judge you what he there did with her for I left them to their sport . with a pish , nay fie , you must not dally , pray leave off as you begun , For if you chance to raise my belly , I am sham'd and quite undone .
