3740Is not my daughter Maudge as fine a maid?

And yet by mack you see she trolls the bowl.

I've dressed a supper sure has pleasèd those,

Had wider purses far, and better clothes.'

'Pray, mother, 'gainst the young mon do not rage,'

Says full-lipped Madge, 'for he must be your son.

We are alike in face, of equal age;

Then ho! the match is soon concluded on.

Kuss me, my honest Dick, for we this night

With crickle crackle will the goblins fright.'
