  1. Reject his greasy kindness, and restore
  2. Th' unsav'ry morsel he had chew'd before.
  3. Nor let his arms embrace your neck, nor rest
  4. Your tender cheek upon his hairy breast;
  5. Let not his hand within your bosom stray,
  6. And rudely with your pretty bubbies play.
  7. But, above all, let him no kiss receive,
  8. That's an offence I never can forgive;
  9. Do not, oh! do not that sweet mouth resign,
  10. Lest I rise up in arms, and cry 'tis mine.
