Page:Fortunate weaver's uprise, or, The landlady well pleased.pdf/2



night as I came into town, I was both wet and weary, Into a tavern I did go, hoping relief was near me:

They conducted me to the tap-room, I call’d for punch was smoaking, My landlady and I sat down, and there we fell a jokeing.

We drank about till it was out, then I call’d in another— When in the shop we heard a rap, the daughter calling mother.

She said, my child, forbear a while, and do your best endeavour, For lease my heart, if I can part this darling sporting weaver.

I put my armearms [sic] around her neck, her cheeks they blush’d like coses; She said, young man, call what you will, you will not be impos’d on.

I took her gently by the hand, and embrac’d her in my arms, With one consent we went to bed, and there we slept till morning.
