Pride and vanity of young women (1790)
“ A well tempered lass that can sew and knit, And order her business as she thinks fit, Wears no out-landish dress without nor within, But only such cloaths as her mother did spin. For these giglet gaukies as here you may see, They are good for nothing but pleasing the eye, And bringing a man to sorrow and strife, They’re fitter for misses than to be a wife. ”

“ And cry’d, loving husband, what’s the meaning of this. My dear I’m not come to deprive you of rest, But my dear loving wife, I must needs have my chest, For we are going to sea with a prosperous gale, Our anchor is weigh’d and our ship under sail. ”

“ And through the wide forest of merry Sherwood, we’ll wind the bugle horn. The Sheriff attempts to take bold Robin Hood, bold Robin disdains to fly, Let them come when they will to merry Sherwood, we’ll conquer boys or die. Our hearts are stout, and our bows are good, and as well their masters know, They’re cut in the forest of merry Sherwood, and never spares a foe. Oar arrows shall drink of the fallow deer’s blood, we’ll hunt them all over the plain, And through the wide forest of merry Sherwood, no shaft shall e’er fly in vain. ”
