A New Song called Love in a Tub
To an 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 meanwhile 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,
|
Ile 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.
|
