“Nay Pish, Sir! What Ails You?”

By Mr. Clissold
 
(Set by John Wilford, c. 1711)

NAY pish, nay pish, nay pish, Sir, what ails you;
Lord! What is’t you do?
I ne’er met with one so uncivil as you;
You may think as you please, but if Evil it be,
I wou’d have you to know, you’re mistaken in me.        5
You Men so rude, and so boisterous are grown,
A Woman can’t trust her self with you alone:
I cannot but wonder what ’tis that shou’d move ye;
If you do so again, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear I won’t love ye.
