¶Lyrics / Text

Young I am and yet unskill'd, how to make a Lover yield; how to keep, or how to gain, when to love, and when to feign. Take me, take me some of you, while I yet am young and true; e're I can my Soul disguise, heave my Breasts and rowl my Eyes. Stay not till I learn the way, how to lie, and to betray; he that has me first is blest, for I may deceive the rest. Could I find a blooming youth, full of Love, and full of truth, brisk, and of a yaunty mien, I should long to be fifteen.
