woodcuts

WHy should we boast of Lais and his Knights ? knowing such Champions , entrapt by Whorish lights , Or why should we speak of Thais curled locks , Or Rodophe that gave so many men the Pox , Read old stories and there you shall find , How Jane Shore , Jane Shore , she pleas'd King Edwards mind . Jane Shore she was for England , Queen Fredrick was for France , Honi soit qui mal y pence . To speak of the Amazons it were too long to tell , And likewise of he Thracian Girls how far they did excel ; Those with Scythian Lads , engag'd in several Fights , And in the brade Venetian Wars , did foil adventurous Knights Marsaline and Julia were vessels wondrous brittle , But Jane Shore , Jane Shore took down King Edwards mettle ; Jane Shore she was , &c. Thallestis of Thormydon she was a doubty weight , She conquered Pallas King in the exercise of Night : Hercules flew the Draggon , whose téeth were all of Brass , Yet he himself became a slave unto the Lydian Lass . The Theban Semule lay with Jove not dreading all his thunder But Jane Shore overcame King Edward although he had her under : Jane Shore she was , &c. Hellen of Greece she came of Spartian blood , Agricola and Cressida they were brave Whores and good ; Quéen Clytemnestra boldly slew old Arthurs mighty Son , And fair Harcyon pull'd down the strength of Tallamon , Those were the Ladies that caus'd the Trojan Sack , But Jane shore , Jane Shore , she spoil'd King Edwards back . Jane Shore she was , &c. For this the ancient Fathers did , great Venus deifie , Because with her own Father Jove , sh● feared not to lye , Hence Cupid came who afterward reveng'd his loving Mother And made kind Biblis do the like with Cornus her own Brother And afterwards the Goddess kept Adonis for reserve , But Jane Shore , Jane Shore , she stretch● King Edwards Nerve , Jane Shore she was , &c. The Colchean Dame , Maedea her Father did betray , And taught her Lover Jason how the vig●●ant Bull to slay : And after thence convey'd her Fathers g●●den fléece , She with her Lover sail'd away in Argus ship to Greece ; But finding Jason false , she burnt his Wife and Court , But Jane Shore , Jane Shore , she shew'd King Edward sport : Jane Shore she was , &c. Romix of Saxoni , the Welsh state overthrew , Igraeyn of Cornwal , Pendragon did subdut , Quéen Quiniver with Arthur fought singly hand to hand In Bed , though afterward she made horns on his head to stand ; And to Sir Mordred pictish Prince a Paramore became , But Jane Shore , Jane Shore , she made King Edward tame . Jane Shore she was , &c. Marosia of Italy sée how she stoutly copes , With Jesuits Priest , & Cardinals , & tripple trowned Popes , And with King Henry , Rosamond spent many a dallying hour , Till lastly poysoned by the Quéen in Woodstock fatal Bower , And Joan of Ark plaid in the dark , with the knights of Languidock , But Jane Shore met King Enward & gave him knock for knock : Jane Shore she was , &c. Pasipha we know plaid feats with the Cretan Bull , And Proserpine though so divine , became black Plutoes Trull ; the Spanish Bawd her strumpets taught to lay their legs astride But these and all the Curtezans Jane Shore did them deride ; Pope Joan was right , although she did the Pabal Scepter weild But Jane Shore , Jane Shore , she made King Edward yield : Jane Shore she was , &c. Agathoclya and Aeanthe did govern Aegypts King , The witty wench of Andover she was a pretty thing ; She fréely took her Ladies place , and with great Edgar dallyed & with main force she foyl'd him quite , although he often rally'd For which brave act , he that her rackt , gave her his Ladies land But Jane Shore , Jane Shore , King Edward did command : Jane Shore she was , &c. Of Phryne and of Lamva Historians have related , How their illustrious beauties , two Generals captivated ; And they that in the days of yore kil'd men & sackt their Cities In honour of their Mistresses , composed amorous Ditties ; Let Flora gay , with Romans play , and be a Goddess call'd , But Jane Shore , Jane Shore , King Edward she enthral'd . Jane Shore she was , &c. The jolly Tanners Daughter Harlot of Normandy , She onely had the happiness to please Duke Roberts eye , And Roxoliana though a slave , and born a Grecian , Could with a nod , command and rule grand Seignior Sollyman And Naples Joan , would make them groan , the ardently did lov'er But Jane Shore , Jane Shore , King Edward he did Shov'er ; Jane Shore she was , &c. Aspatia doth of the Persian brothers boast , Though Scinthya joy in the Lampthean boy , Jane Shore shall rule the roast , Cleopatra lov'd Mark Anthony , and Brownal she did feats , But compared to our Virago they were but méerly cheats ; Brave Carpit Knights , in Cupids fights , their milk-white Rapiers drew , But Jane Shore , Jane Shore , King Edward did subdue : Jane Shore she was , &c. Hamlets incestuous mother , was Gartherrud Denmarks Quéen And Circe that inchanting Witch , the like was scarcely séen , Warlike Penthasillia was an Amazonian Whore , To Hector and young Troyalus , both which did her adore , But brave King Edward who before had gain'd nine victories , Was like a bonslave fettered with Jane Shore all-conquering Thighs . Jane Shore she was for England , Queen Fredrick was for France , Honi soit qui mal y pence .
