I 'M as bold a Hector as any's in the Town, Each day to seek a Booty I ramble up and down, In my gaudy rich Array, still my Plumbs I do display, My golden Trimming on young Women commonly I prey, For while the Merchant is at the Change , Strait to his youthful Lady immediately I range, My kindness for to show, and then before I go, Both Gold and Treasure, out of measure, she presents her Bow.
Many other Fancies I commonly contrive, A Pocket I can pick with the very best alive; If a Croud I chance to spy, then to Filing who but I, Boy, to the center, strait I venter for a fresh supply, Few will immagine I was him, Because my rich Array is so gaudy, fine and trim: Thus, like a Bully-Bow, I make a taring show, With Sword and Rapier do I caper where-soe're I go. All the newest Fashions which any Gallants use, I do follow to the life, see Spanish- leather Shooes, Campaign-wig, of Flaxin-hair, Beaver-hat and Silks I wear With Golden-fringes, Drawers scringes when I do repair Unto the Tavern, where I do call For Sack and other Wine, yet I seldom pay at all; A Room I take below, and watch my time to go, And thus I leave them and deceive them like a Bully-Bow. Sometimes I am mounted upon a dapple Gray, To take Purse or so upon the King's High-Way, With a Pistol in my hand, and the word is D______ Stand, Likewise Deliver, then they quiver, yield to my demand; Now if they are not quarelsome Men, Perhaps I'll throw a Crown for to bear their Charges then: Thus I in Guinea's flow, which makes a taring show, You may conjecture that I hecter like a Bully-Bow. Having got my Booty I make no more ado, But ride to hunt and find out a brace of Cracks or two, Where in pleasant fond delight I do pass away the night, Then e're next morning, day's adorning, I am ruin'd quite; Then when the Cracks I have fairly claw'd, I fall into a passion, both kick and bang the Baud, The Jugs about I throw for serving of me so, You may conjecture that I hector like a Bully Bow. When I am Condemned for Pranks which I have play'd, Up Holbourn-hill I shall be most carefully convey'd, In a Cart which I shall ride, with a Crowd on e'ry side, Before and after, fill'd with laughter, for to see my ty'd; Then will they hollow, and cry aloud, As I am still persu'd by the cry of all the Croud: Come, come you Bully-Bows, who us'd to sing old Rose, Your Hector, Hector, roaring Hector, see him where he goes.
