from:Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy IV, 94: 'The Wanton Trick'. Author: Thomas D'Urfey
"The string of his viol She put to the trial, Till she had the full length of the stick; Her white bellied lute She set to his flute, Oh, 'tis but a wanton trick.
You maids that make trial Of a lute or a viol, Take care how you handle the stick, If you like not this order, Come try my recorder, Oh, 'tis but a wanton trick."
