Page:Handsome jolly cobler and the lovely chambermaid.pdf/8

 I am John the Cobler,

and this is honest Sue:

So pardon us, dear father,

because I tell you true.

If you be John the Cobler,

who had the blinking eye,

You’ve cobl’d me out four-thousand pound

pox on your policy.

The uncle he persuaded him,

and so did all the guests.

The old man fell a-laughing,

and said, I must confess.

That I cannot be angry;

and straight these words did say,

Come call in the fiddler, and let

us be merry all the day.

Let’s drink a health to the Cobler,

and another to honest Sue:

Let every man take off his glass,

without any more a-do.

FINIS.

T. Johnston, Printer, Falkirk.
