A SONG set to a pleasant Scotch Tune . I. A Lad o' th' Town thus made his moan One Winter Morning early , Alas , that I must lie alone , And Moggey's Bed so near me : All Night I toss , I turn and sigh , Nor ever can I close my Eye , For thinking that I lig so nigh , The Lass I Love so dearly . II . She's all Delight from foot to crown , And just Eighteen her Age is , And that she still must lie alone , My Heart and Soul inrages ; I'd give the World I might put on Each Morn her Stocking or her Shoon , If I were but her Serving Loon I'd never ask for Wages . III . If Moggey would but be my Bride I'd take no Parents warning ; Nor value all the World beside , Nor any Lasses scorning : My Love is grown to such a height , I prize so much my own delight , I care not , had I her one Night If I were hang'd i' th' Morning .
