 Each Nymph or sixteen,

Who would fain be a wife;

Shall soon have a partner

To bless her for life.

Then please hither come,

To the sound of my drum,

I have sweethearts in store,

That you never have seen: Then haste, &c.

Would a youth be but blest,

With a Nymph to his mind,

Let him enter my list,

And his wish he will find.

I can bless him for life,

With a kind loving wife,

More beautiful far,

Than the Nymph e'er was seen. Then, &c.

In Paphas we know

No disorder nor strife;

Each Nymph and each Swain,

May be happy for life,

In transport and joy,

We each moment employ,

And taste such delights,

As never yet was seen. Then haste, &c.

a brisk young lively Lass,

a little more than twenty;

And by my comely air and dress,

I can have sweethearts plenty;
