 I dont regard your officers,
 * nor with them will I ſtay,

But your life will ſpare for to declare,
 * I gain my liberty.

But one called Captain Carry,
 * O wow but de was mean,

For the ſake of twenty ſhillings,
 * he got me baſely tane.

They put me in the gaurd-houſe, [sic]
 * my ſtate for to deplore,

With two at every window,
 * and four at every door.

I being in the gaurd [sic] houſe,
 * and gazing all around,

I jumpt out of a window,
 * and knockt ten of the down.

But the light horſe and train men,
 * they ſoon did follow me,

But a friend I met did me aſſiſt,
 * and gain'd my liberty.

FINIS.
