Now Moll's flash com-pan-ion was a Chick-lane gill,

and he garter'd below his knee, [4]

He had twice been pull'd, and nearly lagg'd, [5]

With his pipe and quid, and chaunting voice,

"Potatoes!" he would cry;

For he valued neither cove nor swell,

for he had wedge snug in his cly [6]

Singing, tol-lol-lol-lido.
