Young lasses draw near, good news you shall hear, You now may Buy notable Husbands ne'er fear, Kate, Nancy and Nell , we'll use you all well, We have about Seventeen Taylors to sell Now by Auction. You may understand there's Tom in the Strand, That has neither Silver nor Gold at Command, A Taylor by Trade, like Bully Array'd, You may have a Penniworth of this huffing Blade At the Auction. There's William beside, of dext'rous Pride Whose Wife I must tell ye last Whitsontide dy'd A brawny brisk Lad, whose Colour is sad, For five or six Shillings he is to be had At the Auction. Near Exeter-street, a Taylor compleat, A curious inventer of Fashions most neat, Couragious and Bold, scarce Thirty years Old, This Jolly brisk Taylor he is to be sold At the Auction. A Taylor precise, indifferent Wise, You'll find that he is of a midling size, Come Bridget and Bess, I vow and profess He is to be bought for a Tester or less At the Auction. Hard by Leaden-hall close under a Wall, A Taylor that sits in a Bulk or a Stall, A lover of Ale, whose Visage is Pale, Next Monday he will be exposed to Sale At the Auction. As I am alive not far from Queen-Hive, There dwells a young Taylor who now does con-trive To be mention'd here, for it does appear He brings along with him right delicate Gear At the Auction.
There's Morgan and Will, welsh Thavid and Phill, Who lives in the middle of Cucumber-Hill, With Wit they are fraught, and yet for a Groat, These four bonny Taylors are now to be bought At the Auction. We have seven more, indifferent poor, Who han't yearn'd a penny this six weeks and more Some short, and some long, some feeble and strong You may have the seventeen for an old Song At the Auction. A Taylor all black, who happen'd to Crack The Cords of his Conscience, when Coyn he did lack, Altho' he may huff, like Soldier in Buff, He is to be bought for a meer wooden Ruff, At the Auction. Near St. Clements-lane, stout Tom does remain, Of whom there's no woman alive can complain, He'll please and delight full sixteen a night, We fear that young Lasses for Thomas will fight. At the Auction. This Cucumber Crew begins to look blew, For why, they have little or nothing to do, Therefore a cast stock of Taylors do flock, And beg to be put in this new Catalogue For the Auction. The Taylors with Tears, they swear by their sheers, And wish if they lye they may loose all their Ears, Their Trade is so dead they scarce can get bread, And therefore by hundreds they now run a head To the Auction, Poor Robin he cry'd, and often reply'd, That e're since a week before last Whitsontide, No Cabbage God wot, had fell to his lot, For this very reason he swears he will trot To the Auction.
