A Londoner into the Country went,To visit his tennants, and gather in rent;He on a brave gelding did gallantly ride,With boots and with spurs, and a sword by his that the Inn-keepers they will not score,He lined his pockets with silver good store:And he wore a Wigg cost three guinnies and more,His hat was cockt up, Sir, behind and like a great Gallant that was A-la-mode,Upon his stout gelding he gallopt the road;He came to an Inn, Sir, where he did alight,Eesolviug to rest there, and tarry all night: 280 The Sorroicful Citizen. There was a fair Damoscl, her name it was Rriss ; [ Londoner profferd to give her a kiss,And would fain have been doing the thing you may guess,But she scornfully said she was no London Miss. 16 With eloquent speeches this Gallant did wooe,And profferd her guinnies, but this would not do ; I pray you be civil, good Sir! she replyd, And tempt me no more, for you must be denyd :My credit, I tell you, I never will stain
