The Taylor 's Wanton Wife of Wapping : OR , A Hue-and-Cry after a Lac'd Petticoat , flowr'd Gown , and rich Cornet ; With other Apparel , which was lost in the Chamber of Love . To the Tune of What shall I do to show how much I love her . Licensed according to Order .

Here I will give you a perfect Relation , Of a youngfemale that liv'd near New Crane Who us'd to ramble for her Recreation , though her poor Husband did sigh & complain Who was it seems a young honest poor Taylor , which was not able to give her content ; At length she met with a jolly Krish Sailor , and to a Tabern they lovingly went . My dearest Creature , said he , I had rather I have thee , than any fair Lady , I know ; Therefore this night we will both lodge together , home to the Tailor my Dear shall not go : We will enjoy all the raptures of pleasure , a sweeter Creature sure never was known ; I will endow thee with part my Treasure , and let the Tailor this Night lye alone . As he the Charms of this Jilt did admire , and e'ery beautifull Feature adore , She did immediately grant his desire , thinking there by for to risle his flore : Said the I 'll setze all the Cargo about him , and then his Courage will surely be laid , And down the Stairs I will soon steel without him for it is reason I should be well paid . The Seaman never fear'd rock , wind , nor weather , which the young Female the cunnsngly saw , And as they both did sit drinking together , out from his Fob she his Guinea's did draw , And the young Seaman he chanc'd to perceive her yet not a title or word did he say : Thought he , I now am resolved to leave her in sad neration , before Morning-day . She had no sooner laid hold of the Booty , but down the Stairs she was ready to go ; Said the young Seaman , my amorous Beauty , we 'll call the Drawer , it must not be so . This Seaman called for some of Canary , which was sufficient to keep out the cold , Thus for a while they were heartily merry , for why ? His pockets were lined with Gold , Thus enterthanging their tender Embraces , while in the Cavern together they stay'd , Still he admir'd her amorous Braces , and like two Lovers together they play'd . Seeing alas ! she could not be admitted , again to drinking Canary they fell ; Certainly never was Women so sitted , oh ! 't is a sorrowfull Story to tell . Their Lodging in the next Room has prepar●● where the young Seaman soon laid her ase● Tho' he with drinking was tir'd and wearied , his Eyes from slumber all night he did keep And before Morning he seiz'd on his Treasures which to her pocket she fairly convey'd : Said he , Thou now shalt be plagu'd out of meast a just Erample of thee shall be made . Her silken Coats that was laid down with La●● her sower'd Town , with rich Cornet also , This Seaman early next morning embraces , and down the stairs did immediately go : Thus no Apparel alas ! did he leave her , whereby to rig her , when she should awake , Since she did rob him , he vow'd to deceive her , aboard on Ship streight his way he did tak● Missing her Gallant , ah ! how she lamented , and for her Husband was forced to send , Wiho like an honest good Man was cantented , saying , she want the first that did offend : It was along of this Rascol the Sailor , his Wife he then was unwilling to blame ; Now there is work for this honest poor Tailor , to cloath and rig his young Jenny again .
