I

My time, O ye kiddies, was happily spent, When Nancy trigg'd with me wherever I went; Ten thousand sweet joys ev'ry night did we prove; Sure never poor fellow like me was in love! But since she is nabb'd, and has left me behind, What a marvellous change on a sudden I find! When the constable held her as fast as could be, I thought 'twas Bet Spriggins; but damme 'twas she.
