The verses quoted above and in the BS Valentine's Day thread omit the following 2 quatrains: By Gis and by Saint Charity, Alack, and fie for shame! Young men will do't, if they come to't; By Cock, they are to blame. Quoth she, before you tumbled me, You promis'd me to wed: So would I ha' done, by yonder sun, An thou hadst not come to my bed. F.W.Sternfeld in Music In Shakespearean Tragedy lists two tunes for the song, differing from the version from The Quaker's Opera given in the BS thread. One is from The English Dancing Master 1651 (same as the one in Simpson) and the other from The Illustrated Shakespeare 1839-42 (based on oral memory from The Drury Lane Theatre tradition). I give all three below for comparison.
