A Lady of Pleasure in Bartholomew-Fair, Was powder'd and painted, nay drest in her Hair, In such rich Apparel she then did appear, As if her Estate was Ten Thousand a Year: Of each huffing Gallant she would make an Ass, She fed them with Pig, but they paid for the Sawce. Among all the rest, I will mention but one, A Miser, who is in fair London well known, Yet I will forbear now to mention his Name, Because I am willing to keep free from blame; Of this wretched Miser she made a meer Ass, She fed him with Pig, but he paid for the Sawce. 'Tis known this old Miser he seldom did eat, From Years-end to Years-end, a meal of good Meat, Except i[?] was given him freely, and then
He would eat as much as five labouring Men: He hapn'd to meet with this Beautiful Lass, Who fed him with Pig, but he paid for the Sawce. It hapn'd this Miser went over the Rounds, And under his Arm he had sevenscore Pounds, The which he was going that Morning to lend; This Lady she met him, and said, my dear Friend, Your former good Nature lays claim to a Glass; She found Wine and Pig, but he paid for the Sowce. The Miser he told her, he dare not drink Wine, Nor any such Liquers, until he had Din'd; Quoth she, since we here did so luckily meet, I now am resolved to give thee a Treat; Away to her Chamber they straightways did pass, She fed him with Pig, but he paid for the Sawce.
A Dinner she straightways provided with speed, The Miser he like an old Farmer did feed, Concluding that he should have nothing to pay, But to eat and drink, aye and so go his way: The Lady supply'd him with Glass after Glass, She found him with Pig, but he paid for the Sawce. This Lady supply'd him with Liquor good store, 'Till he was not able to drink any more, Full Bowls of Canary he had drank so deep, That all of a sudden he fell fast asleep: Thus of this Old Miser she made a meer Ass, She fed him with Pig, but he paid for the Sawce. She shook him, and finding that he would not wake, The Sevenscore Pound she did presently take; Then locking the Miser up in an old Chest, This brings me, in short, to the Cream of the Jest: Thus her waggish purpose was soon brought to pass, She fed him with Pig, but he paid for the Sawce. Now he having told her before where he dwelt, In this subtle manner she cunningly dealt; Straight calling a Porter to finish this strife, The Miser she sent in a Chest to his Wife, Without e're a Penny in Silver, alas! Thus she fed him with Pig, but he paid for the Sawce. This Lady she gave him two Shillings at first, And bid him be sure he was true to his Trust, Now for to deliver his Burthen with Care; For why I must tell you it is Merchants Ware: And thus the poor Miser was made a meer Ass, She fed him with Pig, but he paid for the Sawce. Now just as the Porter came home to his Door, The Miser awak'd and loudly did roar; The honest poor Porter was frighen'd alack! Supposing he had Old Nick at his back: But it was the wretched Old Miser, alas! Who was fed with Pig, but he paid for the Sawce. The Wife she was frightn'd this Wretch to behold; The Miser stark mad for his Silver and Gold, But all was in vain, tho' he search'd Smithfield round, The Lady of Pleasure was not to be feund Thus of an old Miser she made a meer Ass, She gave him roast Pig, but he paid for the Sawce.
