ILe tell you a jest if you'l listen a while, How a Taylors wife did her husband beguile, A Taylor he was, and he often would say, He did not love Cabbidge by Yea and by Nay. His Customers thinking that he did say true, They willingly brought him their work for to do, But he would deceive them and Cabidge would pinch, Nay if it was possible, out of an Inch. The Spirit forsook him his light it was out, He wandred in darkness then without all doubt. For one of the tricks which this Quaker did do, The following lines will declare unto you. A Gown for a Lady he had for to make, And how much Cabbidge do you think he did take?
Then out of the piece of fine Sattin so pure, Though Yea and Nay could not no Cabbidge indure, Four yards of this Sattin the Taylor did take, Intending to use it for the Ladies sake, And for to secure it he put it in hell, Yea and Nay not dreading what after befell. The Gown for the Lady he put in a bagg, And as if he would carry home e'ry ragg, He took all the scraps and small bits he could see And put in the bagg to vouch his honesty. He often deceived his Customers so, Some scraps and small pieces to them he would show Saying Yea and Nay, there was all that was left, That he by his cunning might colour his theft.
His wife was a Quaker, more Zealous then he And would not to any such dealings agree, She thought by persuading him over and o're, To make him live honest and Cabbidge no more. But this was a lesson too hard for to learn, Poor Yea and nay thought he but little could earn If he did not Cabbidge now and then a bit, So that he resolved for to do it yet. His wife seeing all her perswasions in vain, And that he in deeds of darkness did remain: The Spirit did move her, she thought it a sin To let him so long to continue therein. Therefore to deceive the deceiver, straight she Went and took the four yards of Sattin, which he Thought sure was good Cabbidge, but she put it down Into the bag, for to go home with the gown. The Taylor then taking the Bagg, he did go To carry the Gown home, and the scraps also, Unto the same Lady for whom it was made, And when he came there unto him thus she said. Friend hast thou been honest and true unto me, And put all the Silk in the Gown I gave thee: With a Saint-like look he demurely did say, He did not love Cabbidge by Yea and by Nay. Said he, for to clear thee of any such doubt, I have brought what is left, then straight to pull out The Gown, and small pieces, the bag he unty'd, And pull'd out his un-look'd-for Cabbide beside. O friend, said the Lady, I pray what is this, I find by my hand that you have done amiss, The Taylor perceiving his Cabbidge so near, Fell quaking and shaking with terrible fear. Then down on his Marrow-bones straight he did fall And humbly confessed the truth of it all: Thus often repeating in his quaking fit, O Satan, O Satan, was the cause of it. The Lady did pardon him since he did say, He ne'r would do so no more by Yea and Nay: But if that he did he resolv'd in his mind, His wife should not know it, she was so unkind.
