Dame Durden kept five serving girls
To carry the milking-pa.il;
She also kept five laboring men.
To wield the spade and flail:
'Twas Moll and Bet,
And Doll and Kate,
And Dorothy Draggletail;
And .Tohn and Dick,
And Joe and Jack,
And Humphry with his flail;
'Twas John kissed Molly,
And Dick kissed Betty,
And Joe kissed Dolly,
And Jack kissed Kitty,

To rouse her servant-maids and men.

'Twas Moll and Bet, &c.
'Twas on the morn of Valentine,
The birds began to prate.
Dame Durden's servant-maids and men,
They all began to mate.
•Twas Moll and Bet, &c.
