VII

Sweet music went with us both all the town thro',

To Bagnigge, White Conduit, and Sadler's-Wells too; [7]

Soft murmur'd the Kennels, the beau-pots how sweet,

And crack went the cherry-stones under our feet:

But now she to Bridewell has punch'd it along, [8]

My eye, Betty Martin! on music a song:

'Twas her voice crying mack'rel, as now I have found,

Gave ev'ry-thing else its agreeable sound.
