"No, you won't fare———“Yes, shall worthy old soul, to be treated in this manner.”———“Here, take this.”——— Oh! you villain, want to bribe an honest watchman, and with such a trifle too.-” Well, here's more.” More! you seem to be a spirited lad; now do you make her a good husband, I am glad you have tricked the old hunks-: I wish you safe to Gretna Green.”
Then to my box I creep,
And there falls fast asleep———
What's that?——— St Paul’s strike two,
The lovers off, what does I do,
But gives the Father warning,
And loudly bawls,
As strikes St. Paul’s,
Past two o’clock, and a cloudy morning.
Then, towards the square from my box as I look,
I hear such a ranting and tearing;
Tis Pharaoh’s whole host & the pidgeons & rooks
Are laughing, and Tinging, and swearing.
Then such a hubbub, such a din
How they blaspheme and curse
That thief has stolen my diamond pin;
Watch, watch, I’ve lost my purse!
“Watch, here, I charge you” — "And I charge you: damme, charge for charge." — "Indeed it is a marvellous thing, that honest people can’t pase the streets, without, being, robbed; which is the thief that stole the gentleman's purse!”—That's him.” — “What, Sam Snatch!——give me the purse: you are mistaken in your man, so go home: peaceably, and don’t oblige, me to-take you to the Watch-house.”
