YOung Collin, cleaving of a Beam, At ev'ry Thumping, thumping blow cry'd hem; And told his Wife, and told his Wife, And told his Wife who the Cause would know, That Hem made the Wedge much further go: Plump Joan, when at Night to Bed they came, And both were Playing at that same; Cry'd Hem, hem, hem prithee, prithee, prithee Collin do, If ever thou lov'dst me, Dear hem now; He laughing answer'd no, no, no, Some Work will Split, will split with half a blow; Besides now I Bore, now I bore, now I bore, Now, now, now I bore, I Hem when I Cleave, but now I Bore.
