“Jenny Long Resisted Wully’s Fierce Desire”
Anonymous(A Broadside Song with music; [c. 1700] set by R. Leveridge) |
JENNY long resisted | |
| Wully’s fierce desire; | |
| She the more persisted, | |
| Coyness raised his Fire. | |
| When he’d reap’d the Treasure, | 5 |
| And the Virgin’s Spoils, | |
| He found such short Pleasure, | |
| Answered not his Toils. | |
| Jenny lay neglected | |
| In her Lover’s Arms, | 10 |
| When she was rejected, | |
| She try’d all her Charms: | |
| Then she did discover, | |
| That no Trick, nor Art, | |
| Tho’t might win a Lover, | 15 |
| Could regain his Heart. | |
