My lodging is in Leather-lane,

A parlour that’s next to the sky;

’Tis exposed to the wind and the rain,

But the wind and the rain I defy:

Such love warms the coldest of spots,

As I feel for Scrubinda the fair,

Oh! she lives by the scouring of pots,

In Dyot-street, Bloomsbury Square.

Oh! was I a pint, quart or jill,

To be scrubb’d by her delicate hands;
