BOys left sung the Glory and same , if a young Lass Couragious and stour , ●ift its Betty this was her name . she with true Courage valiantly fought , With two thumping Lussy Taylors ; 〈…〉 away their Bodkin and Shiers . But Betty was ●●nible and made them to tremble , so sweetly she lugg'd the Rogues by the Ears . One of these Taylors did her provoke , 〈◊〉 she was passing thorough the street , Betty to him immediately spoke , With with your Match you 'l happen to meet : With these words she laid about her , 〈◊〉 like a Lyon strait way appears , The Taylors did tremble , but Betty was nimble , and sweetly she lugg'd the Rogues by the Ears , There was the Master Taylor and Man , both to encounter Betty the Maid , But she so thick and fast did 〈◊〉 , that they we 'r ne'r so gallantly pay'd : By the hair she likewise ●●wl'd them , till they were almost drowned in tears , She haug'd 'em and bruis'd 'em , and bitterly ●●●'d em , poor Taylors was ne'r so lugg'd by the Ears . They would a fain got out 〈◊〉 Fist , but she did still supply them with blows , Till the poor Rogues their Breeches Be-pist , I and the Blood ran point from their Nose : Still their Heads she th●●ipt together saying you Rogues I 'll pay your arrears , They cry'd Mistris Betty , have some kind if patty , but still she did lugg the Rogues by the Ears .
