SONG CCLX. The Innocent FAIR

Listen in the reader

Young I am and yet unskil'd, How to keep or how to gain, When to love and when to fain, Take me some of you, While I yet am young and true, E'er I can my Soul disguise. Heave my Breasts and roll my Eyes,

Stay not 'till I learn the Way, How to lye and to betray, He that takes me first is best, For I may deceive the rest, Cou'd I meet a blooming Youth, Full of Love and full of Truth Brisk and of a gentle Mien, I wou'd long to be Fifteen.
