|
PISH, fye, you’re rude, Sir, | |
| I never saw such idle fooling; | |
| You’re grown so lewd, Sir; | |
| So debauched I hate your ways; | |
| Leave, what are you doing? | 5 |
| I see you seek my ruin, | |
| I’ll cry out, pray make no delay, | |
| But take your Hand away; | |
| Ah! good Sir, pray Sir, don’t you do so, | |
| Never was I thus abused so, | 10 |
| By any Man, but you alone, | |
| Therefore, Sir, pray begone. | | | |
