 And I'll certainly spoil all the rest of your wares,

saying, O that I ne'er had been married.

You impudent jade to rail against whores,

pray where is your gallant the taylor?

By him you had a bastard you know,

the mean time that I was a sailor.

You rifled my riches you plunder'd my store,

I father'd your bastard when I came on shore,

You adacious jade to rail against whores,

saying, that I ne'er had been married.

For seven long years that was you from home,

why should I ly sighing and tumbling alone,

While you got a Moll, to each port you did come,

saying, O that I ne'er had been married.

Before that you rogue, you disgraced me so,

I pass'd for an honest woman;

But now you have let the neighbours to know,

that I to the taylor was common:

For disgracing me so, you're the son of a whore,

she off' with her cap, and at him once more,
