FRiends, I'm a Gentlewoman born, although by Misfortunes much decay'd, Yet nevertheless, I do not scorn, to practice an honest thriving Trade; I wander about in my fine Night-rail, through Southwark, and likewise London City, Where-ever I go I never fail to sing this wonted pleasant Ditty: Dumplings, dumplings, didle, didle Dumplings; Friends, I have got both large and little, Here in my Pot, they are hot; Are they not? I know my Calling to a tittle. I make them with Fat and Flower fine, nay Currents, and likewise curious Plumbs; Old Women if you have a mind to dine, they'r delicate tender for your Gums: You never did eat the like before, and so you will say, if you'r pleas'd to try them; Where-ever I go, I have sale good store, Young Women as well as Lasses buy them: Dumplings, dumplings, didle, didle Dumplings, etc. Your Firmity, Rice-milk, and Grey-pease, and likewise your greasie Pudding-pies; There's none of them can compare with these, good People, I scorn to tell you lies; They'll quicken a Damsel that is dull, likewise they've a greater Opperation, Girls, fill but your Bellies, bumping full, they'll comfort you to admiration: Dumplings, dumplings, didle, didle Dumplings, etc. Whoever has tasted of the same will give me a due deserved Praise, Protesting, before abroad I came, they n'er eat the like in all their Days: Old Women with these are fat and fair, and Batchellors likewise know their Duty:
Besides my Dumplings, I declare, will grace a Damsel's Cheeks with Beauty: Dumplings, dumplings, didle, didle Dumplings; Friends, I have got both large and little, Here in my Pot; they are hot; Are they not? I know my Calling to a tittle. My Dumplings has strange Wonders wrought, kind Neighbours I'll make it well appear, Wherefore by the Gentry they are bought, where-ever I travel far or near; They'r better, I tell you, then the Bath, in helping young Women to their Teeming; I would not deceive you by my troath, sweet Wives, you know my modest meaning: Dumplings, dumplings, didle, didle Dumplings, etc. A Woman not far from Charing-cross, who had been a dozen Years a Wife, Poor Soul, she was always at a loss, she'd n'er been with Child in all her Life; But when she had eaten twice or thrice my delicate Dumplings, then soon after, She bred, nay brought forth in a trice, A champion Boy and curious Daughter Dumplings, dumplings, didle, didle Dumplings, etc. A Man that was Threescore Years of Age, he marry'd a Wife of Twenty Two, Alas! he was often in a rage, because that the Trick he could not do; But feeding upon my Dumplings still, altho' he was in so old a Station, Her fancy he often did fulfil and pleas'd his Wife to Admiration: Dumplings, dumplings, didle, didle Dumplings; Friends, I have got both large and little, Here in my Pot, they are hot; Are they not? I know my Calling to a tittle.
