From the mid to late 1670s comes "The Gentlemans Song that he sent his Lady into the Country." The heart of it is as follows:



I steering my coast one night in the dark
I met with a Frigot that saild towards the Park
She hoisted up sail and away she did run
I see her cast Anchor at the Prince in the Sun.

I gave her a Guinny to enter her Fort
She presently yielded to come to the sport,
But finding me lasie strait bid me begone
I gave her a shot, but she fird my Gun.

And thus I was conquerd and forct to retire
For she gave me a Clap against my desire,
she makes me go stradling with swelling my eggs
you may drive a wheel-barrow between my 2 legs.


All spelling [sic]. "Fort" might make more sense as "Port," but the black-letter text is unusually clear.

These verses are much more modern in style and spirit.
