 The froiickſome ſquire upon the ſame day, As he had appointed with the lady to ly, With the coachman footman, and ſteward agreed For fifty pounds, as a truth it is ſaid.

With child to get all the maids in the houſe, Or elſe for their pains they ſhould not have a ſous; The coachman ſaid. ſir, as ſure as a gun, We’re going to have a good piece of fun.

When he had arrived, a way goes the ſquire, Unto the young lady crying now my deſire, 1 hope l ſhall have, to enjoy my delight; The lady reply’d, ſo you ſhall, ſir, tonight.

The ſquire ſtript, and to bed went to his dear, And kiſs’d and embrac’d with very good cheer, The ſteward withh the houſe keeper lay in the next room, And then the footman m the garret did lie with Jean.

The chambermaid and the coachman alſo, To bed with each other did lovingly go ; This ſtory is enough to make a man wild. For that very night they were all got with child.

In the morn the ſquire took leave of his dear, And goes to meet his companions, we hear. At the Devil-Tavern without Temple-bar, They met, and their paſtime began to declare.

The ſquire ſaid to them, boys, what do you ſay, Have you won the wager I with you did ſay.
