The Scotch Cuckold
Twenty years and mear at Edinborrow
Jockey liv'd Unmarry'd,
At last he would to London gang, and there
the silly Loon miscarry'd;
While Kate the Brown, the Plump,
The Frowzy Browzy,
Hoyty Toyty,
Covent-Garden Harridan,
Soon made poor Jockey's Head to Ake,
And spoyl'd him for a merry Man.
Wae is me he cry'd, that ever I should
change my free Condition,
The Quean my Wife will gad abroad,
whilst I meet ev'rywhere Derision;
I may sigh and Pine and Whine,
And run about,
The Town about,
Each hour crying Welladay,
With roaring Boys she diverts her time,
And all the Week makes Holiday.
