[?The]
London Miss well fitted,
OR, AN ANSWER
To the Four-pence-Halfpenny Farthing.
And now she perfectly doth find
that she is quite Forsaken;
Thus she is fitted in her kind,
If I may not mistaken.
To the Tune of, Four-pence-Half penny Farthing. This may be Printed, R. L. S.
|
T He London Miss was Ranting fine,
|
with Jewels, Rings, and Lockit,
|
She chous'd the Farmer of his Coyn,
|
and fairly pickt his Pocket:
|
Though she got money by't, she got money by't,
|
now she repents her bargain,
|
For he found her out, and he made a rout
|
for his Four-pence-halfpenny-Fathing.
|
The Farmer went upon the Scout,
|
since he was clearly undone,
|
Resolv'd he was to find her out,
|
so up he came to London :
|
Now she got nothing by't, she got nothing by't,
|
since she repents her bargain,
|
For he found her out, and he made a Rout
|
for his four-pence-halfpenny-farthing.
|
Beside the rest of all the Crew,
|
the Cobler and the Barber ,
|
They both came up to London too,
|
which was her Winter harbour;
|
But she got nothing by't, she got nothing by't,
|
now she repents her bargain,
|
For they found her out, and they made a Rout
|
for their four-pence-halfpenny-farthing.
|
Last Tuesday night before 'twas dark,
|
the Farmer he espy'd her
|
A passing thorow Whestones-Park ,
|
but how he did deride her!
|
So she got nothing by't, she got nothing by't,
|
now she repents her bargain,
|
For he found her out, and he made a rout,
|
for his four-pence-halfpenny farthing.
|
The Cobler unto the Barber then,
|
with him did likewise seize her,
|
For they were both undaunted Men,
|
but this did much displease her:
|
That s he got nothing by't, she got nothing by't,
|
now she repents her bargain,
|
For they found her out, and they made a rout
|
for their four-pence-halfpenny-farthing.
|
She seeing this, she cry[']d for aid,
|
her heart with grief was wounded,
|
Then came the Sisters of her trade,
|
thus they were soon surrounded;
|
But she got nothing by't, she got nothing by't,
|
now she repents her bargain,
|
For they found her out, and they made a rout
|
for their four-pence-halfpenny-farthing.
|
The Barber he did her Revile,
|
with this discourse ensuing,
|
The Whore hath shrewdly me beguil'd,
|
which proves my utter ruine:
|
But she got nothing by't, she got nothing by't,
|
now she repents her bargain,
|
They standing up stout, and they made rout
|
for their four-pence-halfpenny-farthing.
|
The Bawd came out to know the cause,
|
and after her, her Daughter,
|
Said she, who durst oppose our Laws,
|
we hold here by our Charter?
|
Now she got nothing by't, she got nothing by't,
|
now she repents her bargain,
|
For they standing up stout, and they made a rout
|
for their four-pence-halfpenny-farthing.
|
Now in the midst of all the Fray,
|
to stop their disputation,
|
The Miss was hurry'd quite away,
|
to her Examination;
|
Where she got something by't, she got something by't,
|
yet she repents her bargain,
|
For they standing up stout, and they made a rout
|
for their four-pence-halfpenny-farthing,
|
A Carpenter came there to tell
|
what slippery tricks she'd played,
|
So she was sent to Old-Bridewell ,
|
where she was soundly payed;
|
So she got something by't, she got something by't,
|
yet she repents her bargain,
|
For now without doubt, she can't get out
|
for four-pence-halfpenny-farthing.
