III

A-coming avay from Wauxhall von night,

I cleared out a muzzy cove quite; [9]

He'd been a strutting avay like a king,

And on his digit he sported a ring,

A di'mond sparkler, flash and knowing,

Thinks I, I'll vatch the vay he's going,

And fleece my gemman neat and clever,

So, at least I'll try my best endeavour.
