She says, you most damnable rogue,
your money why do you thus spend?
You look like a sot or a slave,
and your galloping’s all at an end.
When my first child it was born,
they made up a great bill of charge;
The midwife and gossips came in,
and, swell’d it out still very large :
At all this I’m very well pleas’d,
for what good Providence may send,
I find, there is nothing affray,
but my galloping’s all at an end.
Before Jockey entered marriage,
'twas he that was sprightly and gay.
Right taper and proud was his carriage,
and who was so airy as he!
But now since my uncle got married,
he can neither rove but nor ben,
He must stay at home with his wife,
his galloping’s alt at an end.
Now comes the jolly town-rake,
and thus he did merrily sing,
I will spend one shilling or more,
and toast a good health to the king
