The two Jeering Lovers :

Or , A pleasant New Dialogue between Dick Down-right of the Country , and pretty witty Nancy of the Citie : The manner of their wooing , winning , and wedding shall be related in this ensuing Ditty .

To a dainty new tune , called , Now the tyrant hath stolen , &c ,

Dick . COme hither swéet Nancy , and si● down by me , These long seven Winters I have loved thée : Then give me my answer if that thou canst love me , Or else say me no then my pretty Nancy . Nancy . Stand furth●r Sir Lobeock and trouble not me , I had rather with Pistols and Guns to be shot , Or be run through with Rapiers , then suffer disgrace , For to have such a Buzzard to breath in my Face . Dick . Sweet Nan doe not hold me so much in disdain . But as I love thee , prethee love me again . There 's nothing on earth in the world is be had , But I will ●rocure it to make my love glad . I le buy thee new Beaver and a dainty silk Gown , And a Taffety Apron the hast in the Town , Fine Hose and fine Shooes and a brave Holland Smock , Thou well mayst believe me , for I doe not mock . I le buy thee a scarf that is very compleat , And costly head Tyero both handsome and neat : I le buy thee rare Bracelets and such pretious things , Perfum'd gloves and Ribbons , and gallant gold Rings . Nancy . I le none of thy Ribbons , nor none of thy Gold , I had rather to suffer both hunger and cold , Then to match with a Clown which my mind cannot brook , Nor can I abide thee once on me to look .

Dick . WHy what is the reason thou shouldst me disgrace ? I pray thée in plain t●rms speak to my face . Or what is the cause thou canst not fancy me ? That ever was faithfull and true unto me . Nancy . The reason is this if you 'l have it so , Thou like to a Sloven dost every day goe , Ther●fore take good notice and mark what I say , I 'd not have thée if thou lt give me a Noble a day . Thy eyes stand a squint , thy nose stands awry , Thy mouth stands aside , and thy heards's never dry : Thy Chaps all be slabered and thy lips are amisse , T would make a Maid loath for to give thee a kisse . Thy Shooes are unty'd , and down at the héels , Thy Stockins ungartred , which thou dost not feel , Thy Codpis unbutned , thy breeches bepist , These are nasty actions , say you what you list . Take this for an answer I will thee not have , There 's the doore and the way , now goe walk like a Knave , Goe home to thy Countrey and kisse Countrey Ione , For sweet-heart in London thou art like to have none , Dick , Why then thou proud Huswife I le bid thee farewell Your scoffing and ieering too much doth excell : Yet this I say to thee , if thou hadst thy desert , Thou wouldst either be hanged or be tyd to a Cart . Nancy . Nay stay my sweet Richard , let s kisse and b● friends , For what I said to thee I le make thee amends , If thou l't be my Husband I will be thy Wife , And I le be constant to thee all the dayes of my life . Then Dick he kist Nancy and Nancy kist Dick , And close to each other they after did stick : They went to the Church and were married that day , And Dick to the Countrey carried Nancy away . By this you may see what young women can doe , When Bachelours to th●m do come for to wooe ; Their wits are so nimble , they can in an houre Turn sowre into sweetnesse end sweetnesse to sowre . L. P.
Finis .
