(1) FY C----r, Robber, Robber, Do I live to see this Day, Sure neer Peer was treated scrubber, My Birkin ravishd quite away. Fy C---r, etc. (2) Blush to think, how vilest Traitor, You at Causway-side confind, My yielding Brucia, coud the Creature Fly and leave her Lord behind. Fy C---r, etc. (3) I can give her Legs of Lamb, Sir, I can Play her Duncan Gray, You perhaps may Curse and Damn, Sir; Or, Gar Rub her oer wi Strae. Fy C----r, etc. (4) Come my Birkin, stay no longer, Hear my Prayer, else I die, Come and stanch my amorous Hunger, M---- loves not more than I. Fy C----r, etc. (5) AEtherial Jove in his high Turret, Sits with Juno on his Knee, I with you woud chuse a Garret, And be happier far than he. Fy C----r, etc. (6) Since you false prove, and Disloyal, Prone this Soul of mine to kill, The Whore of Bablon I enjoy will, On the Temples Pinacle.
