How! had she the livelong day been a-drinking?

AUNT

That you may well be thinking, and nothing loath.

And her cheeks were as red, I make an oath,

As a baby’s bottom that has been well thwack’d.

When I blamed her a little for her shameful fact,

She made as with good sharp sauce she could eat me straight.

Thus cursing and shouting she goes her gate,

And no more of my fine young lady I see.
