AH! foolish Lass, what mun I do? My Modesty I well may rue, Which of my Joy bereft me; For full of Love he came, But out of silly shame, With pish and phoo I play’d, To muckle the coy Maid, And the raw young Loon has left me. Wou’d Jockey knew how muckle I lue, Did I less Art, or did he shew, More Nature, how bleast I’d be; I’d not have reason to complain, That I lue’d now in vain, Gen he more a Man was, I’d be less a coy Lass, Had the raw young Loon weel try’d me.
A Song in the Comedy call’d Justice Buisy, or the Gentleman Quack: Set by Mr. John Eccles, Sung by Mrs. Bracegirdle.

NO, no ev’ry Morning my Beauties renew, Where-ever I go, I have Lovers enough; I Dress and I Dance, and I Laugh and I Sing, Am lovely and lively, and gay as the Spring: I Visit, I Game, and I cast away Care, Mind Lovers no more, than the Birds of the Air, Mind Lovers no more, than the Birds of the Air.
