 Says the Collier. What was you in the world above? I was an Exciſeman & few did me love: Indeed Mr. Devil the truth I will tell, Since I have got here, I’ll be what you will.

Since you’re an Exciſeman, here you muſt remain, You will never get out of this dark cell again; The gates they are faſt, and bind you ſecure, All this you muſt ſuffer for robbing the poor,

Indeed Mr. Devil if you’ll pity me. No more will I rob the poor, you ſhall ſee; If you will look over, as you’ve done before, I never will rob the poor any more.

Come give me your money, which now I demand, Before you can get to the Chriſtian land. O yes, Mr. Devil, the Exciſeman did ſay, I wiſh to get back, for to ſee light of day.
