| The Taunton Maids delight, / OR, / Hey for the honest Woosted-Comber. / In Taunton Town a Maid doth dwell, / Who loves a Woosted-comber very well, / In praise of him she doth declare, / No other Tradesman can with him compare. / All Sweethearts that doth come she does refuse, / Only a Woosted-Comber she doth chuse, / To him she wisheth good prosperity, / For 'tis a Comber must her Husband be. | |
