“ For he's a true man you may him believe.
⁠He's one of my porters that stands at my gate,
To let in my nobles, both early and late,
And therefore, good fellow come up without fear,
I'll make thee my ranger of parks far and near. ”

“ Paul he had nothing, but Nanny had money,
He call'd her his love, his joy, and his honey,
The day was appointed, they were to be joined,
In the happy state of matrimony.
Sing rue, rue, &c.
Full ten months after the marriage was over,
Nanny her temper began to discover,
She rung such a peal on the side of his noddle,
Which made his head ake, and his brains grow addle.
Sing rue, rue, &c.
O you must get up, and make me a fire,
Or any thing else that I do desire,
You must wash the dishes, and rock the cradle,
Or else at your head goes the skimmer and laddle. ”

“ And so at it they went like brother and brother.
⁠While drinking, the King was pleased to say,
What news dost thou hear honest tinker I pray!
There is nothing of news the which I do hear,
But the King is a chasing his fair fallow deer. ”

“ What music so sweet or harmony so neat,
as the bagpipes, when join'd with the German flute,
Then turning up his eyes, the blythesome dame replies
when the bagpipes plays with braw Johnny Bute.
Play on bonny lad, for I've got great store of gold,
your bags shall be fill'd, while your pipes you do play
But you ne'er shall return to a climit so cold,
while your kisses are so sweet, & warmer than May. ”
