Up-Tails All There hath a question been of lateAmong the youthful sort;What pastime is the pleasantestAnd what the sweetest sport?And it hath been adjudged,As well by great and small,That of all pastimes none is likeTo up-tails all. All bachelors will to this game And marry'd men likewise; Yea, wives and maids and widows Will use it all their lives: And old men that will have a go Altho' their game's but small, Yet these old colts will have a bout At up-tails all. It cannot be unwholesome.Physicians do it use,And if that it were noysome,They would it then refuse:But if it hurt the body,Then sure their skill is small;For why the best of these will playAt up-tails all. All ladies love the pastime,And do the pleasure crave,And if it were a base thing,Then it they would not have:But yet the fairest women,Will soonest for it call;There is no one but that will playAt up-tails all. And if it were a costly thing,Then beggars could not buy it,And if it were a loathsome thingThen genteels would defy it:But oh, it is a sweet thing,And pleasing unto all;There is no one but that will playAt up-tails all.
