A Song on the Morris at Mr. Youngs Ball,

And to that Tune.

SOme Pretty Ladies on a day, Did go abroad a Maying, And on the gentle grass they lay, Till the Fidler fell a Playing. Then in a trice They all did rise With every one a Feather, And hand in hand They made a stand Four and four together.

2.

Then every one began to meet, And tim'd the Musick truly, And with their pretty nimble feet Did keep their measures duly. Then all came out, And Danc'd about, And fixt into a figure,

And so began The Morris than With pretty might and vigour.

3.

And first fair T. D. did begin, VVhose dancing scarce has fellow, And Lovely S. B. follow'd in VVhose dress was comly yellow. Then pretty Li Tript out and in, And footed it most neatly; And witty Sin did likewise with The rest do all compleatly.

4.

Then strait-limb'd Gr. wheel'd about Her pretty La. to greet still Who in no figure was out But handsomly did meet still. Then airy Ma Got credits Badge, By'r true and lofty measure; She well did do, And so did to Pretty lively L—r.

5.

Thus have you heard the Morris out, Though none were so oth crew then They prettily did turn about And e'ry one danc't true then.

And at the last, But not too fast, They made their Honors neatly; And who can say That very day But all was done compleatly?
