A young man lately in our town,
He went to bed one
night;
He had no sooner laid him down
But was troubled with a sprite.
So vigorously
the spirit stood
Let him do what he can,
"Sure then," he said, 'it must be laid
By
woman not by man.'
A handsome maid did undertake
And into bed she leaped;
And
to allay the spirit's power
Full close to him she crept.
She having such a guardian
care
Her office to discharge,
She opened wide her conjuring book
And laid the leaves
at large.
Her office she did well perform
Within a little space;
Then up she rose,
and down he lay
And durst not show his face.
She took her leave and away she
went
When she had done the deed,
Saying, "If it chance to come again
Then send for me
with speed!"
From Pills to Purge Melancholy, 1719. Tune: The Musical Lovers
