The Gallant Schemer’s Petition to The Honourable Mrs. F——s
Anonymous(Words and music from Musical Miscellany, 1731) |
BY the Mole on your Bubbies so round and so white, | |
| By the Mole on your Neck, where my Arms would delight, | |
| By what-ever Mole else you have got out of sight. | |
| I pr’ythee now hear me, dear Molly. | |
| By the Kiss just a starting from off your moist Lips, | 5 |
| By the delicate up-and-down Jutt of your Hips, | |
| By the Tip of your Tongue, which all Tongues out-tips, | |
| I pr’ythee now hear me, dear Molly. | |
| By the Down on your Bosom on which my Soul dies, | |
| By the Thing of all Things which you love as your Eyes, | 10 |
| By the Thoughts you lie down with, and those when you rise, | |
| I pr’ythee now hear me, dear Molly. | |
| By all the soft Pleasures a Virgin can share, | |
| By the critical Minute no Virgin can bear, | |
| By the Question I burn for to ask, but don’t dare, | 15 |
| I pr’ythee now hear me, dear Molly. | |
