[ 65] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 WIll you go by Water, Sir? I'm the next Sculler; go with my Fare up Westward, Sir, my 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Boat shall be no fuller: Next Oars, Sir, next Oars; whither is't you go, to Fox-hall, or Westminster, or 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Through-Bridge Hoa? Pray Master, trim the Boat, and sit a little higher; you have a handsom Woman by you, me-thinks you might sit nigh╌er! Come Boy, lay the Stretcher, and sit down to your Oar; 〈♫〉〈♫〉 You Sir! will you change a Rogue for a Whore? You Sculler! look before you, with a-pox t'ye hold water; look! 〈♫〉〈♫〉 look! the Rogue runs foul of us, re╌mem╌ber this here╌af╌ter: Come land us here at Kings-Bridge, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Ay Sir, if you're willing: Here Waterman, there's Six-pence; Good faith, 'tis worth a Shilling.
