So before they did bed, They were both of 'em wed, At night he

Did say unto Gill,
Had you giv'n me my will,
I'd a slight ye.

I had no reason, says she,
To grant it unt'ee,
I'm sure, Sir;

Because I was cozen'd
By't least half a dozen,
Before, Sir,

I'll tell thee, says he, Some Girles were so free, They sent me

Each of 'em a Cake,
For some kindness sake,
To content me.

Had I known't, says she,
I'd a fitted ye
For their sakes, Sir.

On that very score,
With Cheeses good store,
To your Cakes, Sir.
