IV

We pass'd the night in love away,

And 'fore justice H-- we went next day,

And because we could not three hog pay, [10]

Why we were sent to quod! [11]

In quod we lay three dismal weeks,

Till Nell with crying swell'd her cheeks,

And I damn'd the quorum all for sneaks

And then sung fal de ral tit, etc.

V

From Bridewell bars we now are free,

And Nell and I so well agree,

That we live in perfect harmony,

And grub and bub our fill! [12]

For we have mill'd a precious go [13]

And queer'd the flats at thrums, E, O,

Every night in Titmouse Row,

Where we sing fal de ral tit, etc.
