ANd further than that,
If I wed with a clowne,
Hée'l answer me What,
and with anger hee'l frowne:
Then must I beware,
perchance with his hand
Hée'l strike me o'th eare:
But ile haue no such man.
And many there are,
that are somewhat iealous,
But ile haue a care,
and match no such fellowes;
Their wiues néere to men
must not sit nor stand,
But their heads ake then,
oh hang up such a man.
Loe thus I haue showne
the conditions of some:
But none can be knowne
till to tryall they come;
And I am inclined
as soone as I can,
For to be ioyned
With a handsome young man.
Some Maidens doe chuse
for to haue Tradesmen.
And some will refuse
them as much agen.
But for my owne part,
as at first I began,
I loue with my heart
a handsome young man.
Let him be a Taylor,
or a neat Shoo-maker,
A Weauer or Glouer,
a Brewer or Baker:
Be he neat or comely,
my loue is soone won,
For my mind is onely
Of a handsome young man.
If that he be gallant,
or meane in apparell;
If his looks be valiant,
to maintaine his quarrell,
Then shall he be welcome
vnto pretty Nan,
For I am delightsome
To a handsome young man.
I passe not what name
hee is called by,
If that I can frame
to loue him truly,
Either Dicke or Robin,
Humphrey, Will, or Iohn,
Any one me shall win
That's a handsome young man,
And thus I conclude,
and here end my Song,
Let none thinke me rude,
nor large of my tongue:
For I am intended
as first I began,
Then let me be friended
With a handsome young man.
