DICK and NELL, or LINKY LANKY.

COLD and peeviſh is the weather,
I hope this night will bring no harm,
Says Dick to Nell we'll ly together,
⁠and we will keep each other warm.
Oh, then we will roll in ſoft delight,
⁠I'll turn to my love and kiſs her too,
We will huddle cuddle all the night,
⁠and do as father and mother do.

CHORUS.

With a flim flam I wou'd go to my love,
⁠linky lanky, there, oh there,
With a twinketer, twanketer, tall lal lal,
⁠ha, ha, ha, he lov'd her dear.

No, ſays Nell, I'll ly with no man,
⁠for I have often heard it ſaid,
Men hath got poiſon to give to women,
⁠and to be poiſon'd I'm afraid.
Or elſe ye might roll in ſoft delight, too,
⁠you might turn to your love & kiſs her
You might huddle cuddle all the night,
⁠and do as father and mother do, &c.

Oh! ſays Dick, the poiſon is pleaſant,
⁠ſo pretty a doſe you never had,
It would get us both lads and laſſes,
⁠that would make you mam & I ll be dad.

Oh! how we would roll in ſoft delight,
⁠ I'd turn to my love and kiſs her too,
We would huddle cuddle all the night,
⁠ and do as father and mother do, &c.

Many perſuaſions Dick made nſe of,
⁠ but all his rhetoric prov'd in vain,
Unleſs that he would promiſe to marry her,
⁠ not one kiſs could he obtain,
Or elſe he might roll'd in ſoft delight,
⁠ he might turn to his love & kiſs her too,
He might huddl'd cuddl'd all the night;
⁠ and do as father and mother do, &c.

The very next morning they were marry'd,
⁠ and to be poifon'd Nell was not afraid,
For Dick and Nell they lay together,
⁠ and Dick he got her maiden-head,
Oh then they did roll in ſoft delight,
⁠ he turn'd to his love and kiſs'd her too,
They did huddle cuddle all the night;
⁠ and did as father and mother do.
With a flim flam I will go to my love,
⁠ linky lanky, there, oh! there,
With a twinketer twanketer, tall lal lal,
⁠ ha, ha, ha, he lov'd her dear.
