Buxom Joan of Lymass love to a jolly sailer: or, the maiden's choice: being love for love again. To an excellent new play-house tune. A soldier and a sailer, a tinker and a tailer, had once a doubtful strife, sir to make a maid a wife, sir, whose name was buxome Joan. Whose name was buxome Joan, for now the time was ended, when she no more intended to lick her lips at men, sir, and gnaw the sheets in vain, sir, and lye  o'nights alone, and lye o'nights alone.
