depiction of the meeting of young man and woman

A Lustie Countrie Lad , that lately came to Towne , His pockets were so clad , with many a Silver Crowne : A Miller by his Trade , his dwelling is at Bow , A place of much resort , as sundry people know : But Dick the Millers Sonne , that powdered all his haire . Alas , he is undone , by medling with light ware . He bought a Perry-wig , a gallant Suit of Clothes , Which was bestre w'd with Musk , more swéeter then a Rose : A Cambrick Bend and Cuffe , his Halfe-shirt out before , His Bréeches had of Ribbons at least a dozen score : But Dick , &c. A Beaver , and a Feather the Crowne did over-top , With Ribbons round about , like a Haberdashers-shop : He bought a paire of Boots , with huge and mighty Toes , The size was twenty foure , which péept up to his nose : But Dick , &c , A Rapier by his side , against his Spurs did clap , At last he met a Lasse , that prov'd a cunning snap : His Cloake about his middle , most brave he wore the same , And walking in Moore-fields , he met a Venus Dame : But Dick , &c. She rusled in her Silke , as she by him did passe , And after as I heard she serv'd him like an Asse : Good morrow sir , quoth she , which made young Dick amza'd , To sée her painted face , his spirits soone were rays'd : But Dick , &c. Faire Mistris then , said Dick , let 's to the Taverne goe , Yet like a Maiden chaste , at first she auswere● no : But Dick opprest with lust , his spirits did so rise , That he did her request , and she no more denyes : But Dick the Millers Sonne , that powdered all his haire , Alack , he is undone , by medling with light ware .

depiction of the playing of young man and woman

IMagine how their time in merryment was spent , With kisses swéet and fine , which Richard did content : And with her apron strings young Dick began to play , Yet the with modest lookes cry'd , pish , nay fie , away : But Dick the Millers Sonne , that powdered all his haire , Alas , he is undone , by medling with light ware . So smoking of his Nose , and drinking store of Sack , Thinking to have his will , but his wits began to crack : So civilly to bed this loving couple goes , She left him fast asléepe , and stole away his Clothes . But Dick &c. The Vintner he came up , his Reckoning for to have , But Dick not well awakt , did call him sawcie Knave : But turning round about , and could no Clothes espy , Then Richard soone was forc'd Peccavi for to cry . But Dick &c. The Vintner much in rage , did strike him ore the face , That Richard at that time was in a stinking case ; And with his leg and féet he kickt him out of doore , And bid him like a Rogue goe to his pocky Whoore . Thus Dick &c. Thus naked home he went unto his Fathers Mill , Where he was entertain'd , and doth continue still : When Richard took his Tole , he thrée times more did take , To buy him other Clothes , which she sold for his sake . Thus Dick &c. All gotten goods nere thrive , take héed you pilferers all , Lest you like strutting Dick to such mischances fail : Then young men have a care of painted curled Locks , For such , though faire above , below may have the Pox . But Dick the Millers Sonne , that powdered all his haire , Alas , he is undone , by medling with light ware .
