Contents:
Sometimes I am a tapster new
Honest shepher'd, since you're poor
Blowzabella my bouncing doxie
As oyster nan stood by her tub
There was a lass of Islington
Poor Celia once was very fair
Oh fie! What mean I foolish maid
What life can compare with the jolly town rakes
I hate a fop that at his glass
Would ye have a young virgin of fifteen years
Weep all ye nymphs, your floods unbind
A soldier and a sailor, a tinker and a taylor
Then jockey wou'd a wooing away
With my strings of small wire lo I come
How vile are the sordid intrigues of the town
Like a ring without a finger
Through the cold shady woods
When for air I take my mare
Young Collin, cleaving of a beam
One Sunday at St. James's prayers
There was an old woman liv'd under a hill
Oh! my panting, panting heart
Now listen a while, and I will tell
Oh mother, Roger with his kisses
Do not rumple my top-knot
Come jug, my honey, let's to bed.
