A New Song called Love in a Tub.
To a new tune called Daniel Cooper.

I.

A Female Quaker in Cheap-side,
She lov'd a presbyterian;
Her Husband she could not abide,
Because he was not handsom.
She having got a new great Tub,
Which stood up in the Garrat;
Then on a day when he was out,
O there she play'd the harlot.

II.

In the mean while her Husband came,
And cot them both together;
In the Tub they both were in,
Where Presbyter imbrace her:
But when her Husband she did see,
O she was sore amazed;
On one another they did look,
And on him soundly gazed.

III.

Villian quoth he, why dost thou so,
Dost think I will thee pardon;
Except a hundred pound I have,
I'l bate the not one Farthing.
With that the Wigg, gave free consent,
And paid him down the Money;
The Quaker with his Wife content,
For playing with her Coney.


FINIS.
LONDON, Printed for Absalon Chamberlain, in Red-bull Play-house-yard over against the Pound
in St. John-street; near Clerken-well-green.
