three hundred more I'd give you,
But if you marry without, conſent,
a farthing I wont leave you:
Beſides to marry ſhe's too young.
And Sailors have a flattering tongue.
So from my pretence quick be gone,
If you wed that.tarry Sailor.

to court with pockets empty;
Five hundred guineas in bright gold,
Upon the table there he told,
And ſwept them in her apron-fold.
Take that and Jack your Sailor.
Her father ſeeing his honeſt heart,
that he behav'd ſo clever:

you ſhall be join'd for ever:
