They double their Chaps, and Curl their Locks,
Their Breaths perfume they do ;
Their Tails are pepper'd with the Pox,
And that you're welcome to.
But give me the Buxom Country Lass,
Hot piping from the Cow ;
That will take a touch upon the Grass,
Ay, marry, and thank you too.
Her Colour's as fresh as a Rose in June,
Her Temper as kind as a Dove ;
She'll please the Swain with a wholesome Tune,
And freely give her Love.
CUCKOLDS Creation.
