Islington Wells
SONG Of all the Virtues of those old
Waters, Newly found out: With all preparations that are making for Young Wives that have unkind Husbands.
To the
Tune of—
Come Boys fill us a Bumper.
I.
Lodon Lasses make ready,
Repair for
Jslington;
Young Widdows, young Wives or
Lady,
Whilst all your Husbands are gon,
For
Epsom, Tunbridge or
Duledge;
For Water, Wenches or Wine,
To make them return all with full heads:
You n'er had so happy a time.
II.
Although
Madddm Fickle doth scorn it,
Because t'is near the Town,
And forty brisk Dames forewarned,
Their husbands all being at home;
Yet these are the Waters approved,
By Docters kind to the croud;
They swore to the Sisters beloved,
'Twill make your giggs frisk it about.
III.
The
Taylors are now in the Country,
Cucumbers are plentiful there;
To make their Wives a fair Entry,
These Waters are wholsome and clear,
Expelling all dregs of obstruction,
Til blood flows fresh in their veins;
They freely will spend their production,
On such as will take little pains.
IV.
Convenient house prepareing,
For private and publick Souls,
For
Venus Adorers to share in,
Inspired with lustful Bowles;
Where Doctors are daily attending,
For each Complexion takes care,
Kind looks your kind hearts recomending
Prefers your commodities there.
V.
You need not to fear betraying,
Your Gallants come most in disguise
In Ladys apparrel for staying,
Till they have obtained the prize;
Sweet gardens and arbours of pleasure,
For Amorous souls and delights,
Wherein you may reap all the
Treasure
For which you have languisht some
nights.
VI.
These
Waters are always in season,
As well at the
Spring as the
Fall;
To Crown a kind husband's no Treason,
Guilt Antlars well grafted and tall;
May fetch you a Coach and six horses,
As gay as some at the
Court,
Where pleasure and profit inforces,
You needs must be proud of the sport.
