[6]

If he then of my tricks should know,
it would make him wond’rous sad,
’Twould fill his heart with jealousy,
and make him run horn mad.

Then instead of kicks and blows,
a kiss to him she gave,
And a guinea, saying, When this is done,
thou more of me shalt have.

If thou wilt not thy master tell,
so keep it close, you shall
Have money off me, when thou wilt,
and I'll be at thy call.

BROTHER DEBTOR.

Welcome, welcome, brother debtor,
to this poor, but merry place,
Where no bailiff, dun, nor setter,
dare to shew his frightful face:
But, kind Sir, as you’re a stranger,
down your garnish you must lay,
Or your coat will be in danger;
you must either strip or pay.

Ne’er repine at your confinement,
from your children or your wife;
Wisdom lies in true resignment,
through the various scenes of life.
