Oh the Twenty-first day of last month,

Proved an unfortunate day;

Captain Milton was riding to London,

And by mischance he rode out of his way.

He call’d at Sandal-Houses by the road-side,

The one known by the sign of the Magpie,

There Nevison he sat a drinking,

And the Captain soon he did spy.

Then the captain did very soon send for,

And a constable very soon came;
