Says Guy, "Shall a warrior laden
 * With a big spiky knob,
 * Stand idly and sob,

While a beautiful Saracen maiden
 * Is whipped by a Saracen snob?

"To London I'll go from my charmer."
 * Which he did, with his loot
 * (Seven hats and a flute),

And was nabbed for his Sydenham armour
 * At suit.

he was lodged in the Compter,
 * Her pa, in a rage,
 * Died (don't know his age),

His daughter, she married the prompter,
 * Grew bulky and quitted the stage.
