O Polly, You Might Have Toy'd and Kissed
(John Gay, words. Tune, trad.)

O Polly, you might have toy'd and kissed.
By keeping Men off, you keep them on.
     But he so teaz'd me,
     And he so pleaz'd me,
What I did, you must have done.

The wiles of men we must resist
Be woo'd at length, but never won
     But he so pres'd me
     And so caress'd me
What I did, you must have done.
