But he ſaid my dear jewel be not in a fright,
For your Captain is kiſſing my (illegible text) the night.

 He told her the ſtory, which when ſhe did hear,
The Lady amaz'd and with wonder did ſtare;
She laugh'd till her ſides ſhe did hold with joke,
To think how the Captain would fret in his coat.

 She ſaid I will go in my coach I proteſt,
To ſee how he looks in his tarpauline dreſs:
The ſailor put on the Captain's array,
And then to the Captain they both took their way.

 Then up the ſtairs this couple did trip.
The Captain he in his ſhort jacket did fit
Jack whipt up the cane and gave him a ſtroke,
Adzooks, ſays the Captain, Jack pull off my coat.

 I'm afraid ſays the Lady this has caus'd a miſtake,
Surely, ſays the captain, you've not horn'd my pate.
She ſaid, ii I did, it is but tit for tat.
Said the Captain, Jack's wife got money for that.

 Here's fifty bright guineas, Jack pull off my coat,
If this to the ſailors you will not report.
There's many can match us you very well know,
And ſo we are cuckolds boys all in a row.

 

The Laſs on the Banks of the Boyn.

'Twas on a ſummer's morning,
all in the month of May,
