Oh! that I were a T - - - d, a T - - - d,
Hid in this secret Place,

Though she sh - - t me in my Face.

_Nottingham, at the Castle: _Jack N----_ cured._
The Five and twentieth Day of _July_,
When _Jack_ with Liquor grew unruly,
In comes Sir _Richard_ with a Quart,
And drank him till he broke his Heart;
So down dropp'd _Jack_
Upon his Back,
And lay,
Till Day,
And went away.

_Three-Pigeons, Brentford, in a Window._
How vain the Hopes of Woman's Love,
While all their Hearts inconstant prove;
Nor _M - - - - k_, nor will _Dolly_ come;
Nor _Sukey_ with her thumping B--m;
Nor _Molly_ with her flaring Eyes;
Nor _Nancy_ with her bouncing Thighs:
If one don't come, my Curse is this,
That they may never sh - - t nor p - - ss.

My dearest _Sukey Percivall_,
Is all my Toast, and that is all.

With a young Cavalier;
With her Heart full of Fear,
For her Husband was near.

If the Husband had come,
And had seen his Wife's B - - m,
He'd a known by her Looks,
She'd been playing ----
At Hoy Gammer Cooks.
