And ’cause we are poor made to scour the Cramp-ring,[159]

From thence at the Chats we trine in the Lightmans,[160]

Clear out—Look Sharp!

Song commonly sung by tramps and thieves at a general Rendezvous before they divide into parties, to stroll about the country.

Bing[161] out, bien[162] Morts,[163] and toure[164] and toure,

Bing out, bien Morts, and toure;

For all your Duds[165] are bing’d awast[166]

The bien Cove[167] hath the loure[168].
