'TWas when the Sheep were Shearing,
  And under the Barly Mow;
Dick gave to Doll a Fairing,
  As she had milk'd her Cow:
Quoth he, I fain wou'd Wed thee,
  And tho' I cannot Wooe;
I've Hey Pish, Hey Cock, Hey, and hey for a Boy;
  Sing, shall I come Kiss thee now,
Sing, ah! shall I come, shall I come Kiss thee now?
    I long Sweet-heart to Bed thee,
And merrily Buckle too,
With Hey Pish, Hey Cock, Hey, and hey for a Boy;
  Sing, shall I come Kiss thee now,
Sing ah! shall I come, shall I come Kiss thee now?

Doll seem'd not to regard him,
  As if she did not care;
Yet Simper'd when she heard him,
  Like any Miller's Mare:
And cunningly to prove him,
  And Value her Maiden-head,
Cry'd fie, nay Pish, nay fie, and prithee stand by,
  For I am too young to Wed;
She said, she ne'er cou'd Love him,
  Nor any Man close in Bed;
Then fie Pish, fie, nay Pish, nay prithee stand by,
  For I am too young to Wed.

Like one that's struck with Thunder,
  Stood Dickey to hear her talk;
All hopes to get her under,
  This sad resolve did baulk:
