The Park Song.

OF late in the Park a fine fancy was seen, Betwixt an old Bawd and a bucksome young Quean, Their parting of money began this uproar, I'le have half says the Bawd, but you shan't says the Whore. Why 'tis my own house, I care not a louse, I'le have three parts of ••our, or you get not a souse; 'Tis I says the Whore that must take all the pains, And you shall be damn'd e're you get all the gains, The Bawd being vexed straight to her did say, Come off with your Dud's and I pray pack away, And likewise your Ribons, your Gloves, and your Hair, For naked you came, and so out you go bare: Then the Buttocks so bold, Began for to scold, Hurry-Dun was not able her clack for to hold, Both Pell-mell fell to it, and made this uproar, With these complements, thou'rt a Bawd, thou'rt a Whore.

The Bawds and the Buttocks that lived there round, Came all to this case, the pockie and sound, To see what the reason was of this same fray, That did so disturb them before it was day; If I tell you amis, Let me never piss; This Buttock so bold, her name was call'd Siss, By Quiffing with Cullies three pounds she hath got, And but one part of four, must fall to her lot. Then all the Bawds cry'd, let us turn her out bare, Unless she will yeild to return you half share, If she will not we'l help to strip off her cloat And turn her abroad with a slit on her Nose. Who when she did see, There was no remedy, For her from the tyrannous Bawds to get free; The Whore from the money was forced to yield, And in the conclusion, the Bawds got the Field.
