THE COY LASS DRESS'D UP IN HER BEST, by                    
First Line: Do not rumple my top-knot
Last Line: "I won't be put out of my rode, / you shall not rumple my commode"
Subject(s): Innocence;love


Do not rumple my Top-Knot,
I'll not be kiss'd to Day;
I'll not be hawled and pulled about,
Thus on a Holy-day:
Then, if your Rudeness you don't leave,
No more is to be said:
See this long Pin upon my Sleeve,
I'll run up to the Head;
And, if you rumble my head Gear,
I'll give you a good flurt on the Ear.

Come upon a Worky-day,
When I have my old Clothes on;
I shall not be so nice nor Coy,
Nor stand so much upon:
Then hawl, and pull, and do your best,
Yet I shall gentle be:
Kiss Hand, and Mouth, and fell my Breast,
And tickle to my Knee:
I won't be put out of my rode,
You shall not rumple my Commode.
