IV

The tenth is a shop-lift that carries a Bob,

When he ranges the city, the shops for to rob.

The eleventh a bubber, much used of late;

Who goes to the ale house, and steals all their plate,

The twelfth is a beau-trap, if a cull he does meet

He nips all his cole, and turns him into the street.

Toure you well, etc.

V

The thirteenth a famble, false rings for to sell, [17]

When a mob, he has bit his cole he will tell;

The fourteenth a gamester, if he sees the cull sweet [18]

He presently drops down a cog in the street; [19]

The fifteenth a prancer, whose courage is small, [20]

If they catch him horse-coursing, he's nooz'd once for all. [21]

Toure you well, etc.
