SHinkin ap shone was rob a creet House, On the Porder of Wales, on St. Taffys day, Was steel a Cock-Gelding, creen Leak, an a Coose, and then on a Goat was scamper away: A Hue-and-cry, through the Country did fly, whilst Shinkin spurr'd on hur Goat with a pin; The Mountains were high, and no Houses were nigh but at last hur got over, and came to an Inn. Landlord; said he, put up hur Welsh Nag, for hur has rid hard for fear of hur Life; And take out hur Coose and hur Leek from hur Bag, hur will eat the Cock Gelding at home with hur wife. Roast hur Coose, and poyle hur Leek, and give hur a flaggon or two of hur Ale; Nick hur oth' head, for fear hur should squeak, and then hur is sure hur cannot tell Tale. Cots plutter-a-nails, when we did meet, Cock-gelding; hur flutter'd; and Coose did roar;
Hur made a dam noise all over the street, hur thought they did call hur a Son of a Whore: But night was dark, and Shinkin nimble, Cock-gelding and Coose did roar in vain, Hur drowned their noise with hur Podkin & Thimble, if hur had been taken, hur would have been slain. The Cook was call, and Fire was made, the Pot and the Spit were brought to the fire, Leeks were put in, and the Goose was laid to roast, according to Shinkins Desire; But long before the Meat was drest, a Constable came with a Staff in his hand, For Felony he did poor Shinkin Arrest, and told him that he must obey his Command. Cots plut, quoth he, Sir this cannot be, for hur and hur Nag are just but come in; And you are come hither without one I see, and you are quite dry, and we're wet to th' skin:
Cots plutter-a-nails, if any in Wales, was tell hur that Shinkin ap Shones a Thief, Was cut off hur ears with a pair of hur Shears, and send hur to England to peg Relief. The Constable whistle, and Peadles came in, and hurry'd poor Shinkin to a Shustice of Peace: Then sorrowfull Shinkin did leave off his dinn, when the Constables charg'd him with stealing of Geese, 'Twas ask'd how he came by the Goose in his Sack, he said, he would tell them the Naked Truth, An't please hur, said he, hur hung Sack at hur back, cold, an the Coose crept in at the Mouth. At Shrovetide hur went to a neighb'ring Town, with hur Yard hur knock'd Cock-Gelding down; Hur aim'd at hur back, and hit hur o'th' crown, hur's a Shentleman Taylor of creet Renown. A Rampant Loose hur has for hur Coat, a bunch of Leeks is Shinkin's Crest; Hur did ill to pull poor Shinkin by Throat, sure hur do's come with a false Arrest. But Shinkin alas! was sent to Gaol, For the Justice insisted on very good Bail; And he was Indicted at Sessions for Theft, Tho' the Goose at the fire, in the Inn was left. Good Mr. Shustice, Shinkin did cry, was hur take hur Coose, and let hur alone, Hur [?] Coose for a Coose that dares venter to dye; if hur pleases, the Coose hur will disown But Shinkin was ty'd, an whipt at a Post, and lost his Coose and Cock-Gelding to boot; His Goat that he rode on, fell to his Host: for he had not a penny of money, I doubt. Then Shinkin curst, by St. Taffy he swore, he never was hurt for stealing a Shred, He would steal in his shop, but never once more his Paunch with Cock-Gelding or Coose should be fed. Hur will neither steal Coose, Cock-gelding, nor Beef, Hur may venture for Cabbage to play the Thief; If hur Father stood by, hur wou'd snipp a piece; But warr Cock-gelding, warr Leak, and warr Geese: If Linnen or Woolen come once in hur way, Hur will have a piece by night or by tay; If it be but as much as a Button will make, Hur will a small piece from the Remnant take.
