Is to be made o', and obtain a kiss."

A GLOUCESTER DITTY.
(From an Old Broadside without date.)
Come, my very merry gentle people, only list a minute,
For tho' my song may not be long there's something comic in it;
A stranger I, yet, by the bye, I've ventured in my ditty,
To say a word at parting, just in praise of Gloucester city.
The Romans they this city built, and many folks came down here,
Kings Richard, Henry, John, and Ned, did visit Glo'ster town here;
