Hey ho Hunt about. OR,
A pretty merry meeting of young men and Maids,
Who went to the Tavern by Cupids strong aids,
They drank and were merry and sang a new Song,
They talkt and discours'd but did no body wrong,
They kindly imbrac'd, and each other did kiss,
You know there could be no great harm in this.
The Tune is, the Couragious hartulesse healths.
HEy ho hunt about,
Find my true Love out,
Knock at my Chamber door,
I have gold in my pocket,
And thou shalt not lack it,
And when that's spent we'l have more
I have gold in my pocket,
And thou shalt not lack it,
And when that is gone we'l have more.
Hey ho do not stay
But make hast away,
Vnto the Tavern let's hye,
Where we will be merry,
With Sugar and sherry:
Then who but my sweet heart and I?
Where we will be merry, &c.

And beautifieth the day,
Cupid ads lusters,
To me and my sisters,
As fresh as the flowers in
May.

Nor powder our Traces,
Nor hudle up our heads in black bags
The Scarffs that some wear,
If well look'd on they were,
will be found to be no better then rags
The scarffs, &c.
Our habits are civill
And we think no evil,
Our hearts and our minds do agrée,
And now my sweet heart,
Before we depart,
In love here's a full cup to thee.
And now my sweet heart, &c.

Fill the cup to the brink,
And so let this health go round,
Like sister and brother,
VVe'l pledge one another,
Our joyes shall with Nector be crownd
Like sister, &c.
And thus the brave Lasses,
Did tipple up the glasses,
Their swéet hearts being in company then
To sweeten their wine,
VVith kisses most fine,
They shew'd themselves kind hearted men

And being kind hearted,
Before they departed,

And promised them,
To be merry agen,
And pointed a time for their méeting.
And then, &c.
Though they so merry were,
VVith wine and merry chéer
No harm was thought spoken or ment.
The day being done,
Each one to his home,
Departed with love and content.
