| Of who f cks who and who does worse | B |
| Such as you usually do hear | C |
| From those that diet at the Bear | D |
| When I who still take care to see | E |
| Drunkenness relieved by lechery | D |
| Went out into St James's Park | F |
| To cool my head and fire my heart | G |
| But though St James has th' honor on 't | G |
| 'Tis consecrate to prick and c nt | G |
| There by a most incestuous birth | H |
| Strange woods spring from the teeming earth | H |
| For they relate how heretofore | D |
| When ancient Pict began to whore | D |
| Deluded of his assignation | I |
| Jilting it seems was then in fashion | I |
| Poor pensive lover in this place | J |
| Would frig upon his mother's face | J |
| Whence rows of mandrakes tall did rise | K |
| Whose lewd tops f cked the very skies | K |
| Each imitative branch does twine | I |
| In some loved fold of Aretine | I |
| And nightly now beneath their shade | G |
| Are buggeries rapes and incests made | G |
| Unto this all sin sheltering grove | L |
| Whores of the bulk and the alcove | L |
| Great ladies chambermaids and drudges | K |
| The ragpicker and heiress trudges | K |
| Carmen divines great lords and tailors | K |
| Prentices poets pimps and jailers | K |
| Footmen fine fops do here arrive | M |
| And here promiscuously they swive | M |
| - | |
| Along these hallowed walks it was | K |
| That I beheld Corinna pass | K |
| Whoever had been by to see | K |
| The proud disdain she cast on me | K |
| Through charming eyes he would have swore | D |
| She dropped from heaven that very hour | D |
| Forsaking the divine abode | G |
| In scorn of some despairing god | G |
| But mark what creatures women are | D |
| How infinitely vile when fair | D |
| - | |
| Three knights o' the' elbow and the slur | D |
| With wriggling tails made up to her | D |
| - | |
| The first was of your Whitehall baldes | K |
| Near kin t' th' Mother of the Maids | K |
| Graced by whose favor he was able | N |
| To bring a friend t' th' Waiters' table | N |
| Where he had heard Sir Edward Sutton | I |
| Say how the King loved Banstead mutton | I |
| Since when he'd ne'er be brought to eat | G |
| By 's good will any other meat | G |
| In this as well as all the rest | G |
| He ventures to do like the best | G |
| But wanting common sense th' ingredient | G |
| In choosing well not least expedient | G |
| Converts abortive imitation | I |
| To universal affectation | I |
| Thus he not only eats and talks | K |
| But feels and smells sits down and walks | K |
| Nay looks and lives and loves by rote | G |
| In an old tawdry birthday coat | G |
| - | |
| The second was a Grays Inn wit | G |
| A great inhabiter of the pit | G |
| Where critic like he sits and squints | K |
| Steals pocket handkerchiefs and hints | K |
| From 's neighbor and the comedy | K |
| To court and pay his landlady | K |
| - | |
| The third a lady's eldest son | I |
| Within few years of twenty one | I |
| Who hopes from his propitious fate | G |
| Against he comes to his estate | G |
| By these two worthies to be made | G |
| A most accomplished tearing blade | G |
| - | |
| One in a strain 'twixt tune and nonsense | K |
| Cries Madam I have loved you long since | K |
| Permit me your fair hand to kiss | K |
| When at her mouth her c nt cries Yes | K |
| In short without much more ado | G |
| Joyful and pleased away she flew | G |
| And with these three confounded asses | K |
| From park to hackney coach she passes | K |
| - | |
| So a proud bitch does lead about | G |
| Of humble curs the amorous rout | G |
| Who most obsequiously do hunt | G |
| The savory scent of salt swoln c nt | G |
| Some power more patient now relate | G |
| The sense of this surprising fate | G |
| Gods that a thing admired by me | K |
| Should fall to so much infamy | K |
| Had she picked out to rub her arse on | I |
| Some stiff pricked clown or well hung parson | I |
| Each job of whose spermatic sluice | K |
| Had filled her c nt with wholesome juice | K |
| I the proceeding should have praised | G |
| In hope sh' had quenched a fire I raised | G |
| Such natural freedoms are but just | G |
| There's something generous in mere lust | G |
| But to turn a damned abandoned jade | G |
| When neither head nor tail persuade | G |
| To be a whore in understanding | O |
| A passive pot for fools to spend in | I |
| The devil played booty sure with thee | K |
| To bring a blot on infamy | K |
| - | |
| But why am I of all mankind | G |
| To so severe a fate designed | G |
| Ungrateful Why this treachery | K |
| To humble fond believing me | K |
| Who gave you privilege above | M |
| The nice allowances of love | M |
| Did ever I refuse to bear | D |
| The meanest part your lust could spare | D |
| When your lewd c nt came spewing home | P |
| Drenched with the seed of half the town | I |
| My dram of sperm was supped up after | D |
| For the digestive surfeit water | D |
| Full gorged at another time | Q |
| With a vast meal of slime | Q |
| Which your devouring c nt had drawn | I |
| From porters' backs and footmen's brawn | I |
| I was content to serve you up | R |
| My ballock full for your grace cup | R |
| Nor ever thought it an abuse | K |
| While you had pleasure for excuse | K |
| You that could make my heart away | S |
| For noise and color and betray | S |
| The secrets of my tender hours | K |
| To such knight errant paramours | K |
| When leaning on your faithless breast | G |
| Wrapped in security and rest | G |
| Soft kindness all my powers did move | M |
| And reason lay dissolved in love | M |
| - | |
| May stinking vapors choke your womb | T |
| Such as the men you dote upon | I |
| May your depraved appetite | G |
| That could in whiffling fools delight | G |
| Beget such frenzies in your mind | G |
| You may go mad for the north wind | G |
| And fixing all your hopes upon't | K |
| To have him bluster in your c nt | K |
| Turn up your longing arse t' th' air | D |
| And perish in a wild despair | D |
| But cowards shall forget to rant | K |
| Schoolboys to frig old whores to paint | K |
| The Jesuits' fraternity | K |
| Shall leave the use of buggery | D |
| Crab louse inspired with grace divine | I |
| From earthly cod to heaven shall climb | Q |
| Physicians shall believe in Jesus | K |
| And disobedience cease to please us | K |
| Ere I desist with all my power | D |
| To plague this woman and undo her | D |
| But my revenge will best be timed | K |
| When she is married that is limed | K |
| In that most lamentable state | K |
| I'll make her feel my scorn and hate | K |
| Pelt her with scandals truth or lies | K |
| And her poor cur with jealousied | K |
| Till I have torn him from her breech | U |
| While she whines like a dog drawn bitch | V |
| Loathed and despised kicked out o' th' Town | I |
| Into some dirty hole alone | I |
| To chew the cud of misery | D |
| And know she owes it all to me | D |
| - | |
| And may no woman better thrive | M |
| That dares prophane the c nt I swive | M |
