THE Lass of LYNNs New Joy For finding a Father for her Child. Being a Third SONG of MarryandThank ye too: To the same Tune. Licensed according to Order.
I cannot find any reference to an extant tune called either The Lass of Lynn's New Joy or Marry and Thank ye, Too (confused as to which title, but suspect it should be the latter).
Can any 'catters help? If the tune is lost, could anyone suggest a tune contemporaneous with 1682 or before that would fit these sample verses?
COme listen, and hear me tell the end of a Tale so true, The Lass that made her Belly Swell, with Marryand thank ye too.
With many hard Sobs and Throws, and Sorrow enough (I wot) She had wept Tears, the whole Town knows, would fill a whole Chamber-pot.
For Pleasure with Pain she pays, her Belly and Shame to hide, So hard all day she Lac'd her Stayes, as Pinched both her Back and Side.
