( 4 ) CHAP. II.

Jack frights a Taylor for Cabbaging

Cloth out of his Coat

JACK being twenty years of age,

lived with a worthy Knight,

In manner of a pretty page,

to yield him much delight:

The Knight right generous and free,

did for a taylor ſend

For to make Jack a livery,

ſo much he was his friend.

Of half a yard of good broad cloth,

the coat was to to be made;

But yet the taylor he was loth

to quit his knaviſh trade.

The knaviſh taylor was to blame,

a crafty cunning wag,

He pinch’d as much out of the ſame

as made a marble bag.
