The Virginal Lesson
Mr. John Isum
Early 18th. Century
When Caelia was learning on the spinet to play,
Her tutor stood by her to show her,
To show her, to show her,
To show her the way.
She shook not the note, which anger'd him much,
And made him, and made him cry,
Zounds it's a long prick, a long prick,
A long prick'd note you touch.
Surprised was the lady to hear him complain,
And said, and said, and said,
I will shake it, I will shake it,
When I come to't again.
