The Roxburghe ballads . [These cuts, the small one duplicated, belong to p. 551.] 505 [Roxburghe Collection, IV. 3. Probably Unique.] 2L jfatrtnei tO Graves-end. When Noble Seamen spend their coyn, Why should they be abusd?Then let them stay from thence away Where they are strangely usd. Tune of, Hey Boys, up go tue ! [See p. 285.] [This woodcut belongs also to pp. 527, 545.]. THe wanton Girls of Graves-end Town have now quite lost my heart,Maintained by the Seamen brave, but nere will take their part,Theyre foolish, ay, and simple too, yea, pampered also,Ile nothing have with them to do, for a trick that I do know. The first that ever came to town, she was right p[a]ntle[r]-bred;A girl that true and constant is, to please men in the bed:While you have Gold and Silver store shel any whither go,But now I will trust her no more, for a trick that I do know. 8 There is a bonny handsome Girl, that lives beneath the Sun;A. wench thats kind and willing too, and ready for a run :Shel walk with you from place to place, where ere you please to go,Shel kiss and play, both night and day, for a trick that I do know. Another Girl there is also, as fierce as any Dragon,She kindness unto you will show, if you call for your Flaggon ;And when your money doth fall short, shel say, Tis time to go ! And then you must no lunger sport, for a trick that I do know. 16 50G A Farewel
