[Music:

She. ]

She. PRay now John, let Jug prevail,
        Doff thy Sword and take a Flail,
        Wounds and Blows, with scorching Heat,
        Will abroad be all you'll get.
He. Zooks y'are mad, ye simple Jade,
        Begone and don't prate;
She. How think ye I shall do with Hob and Sue,
        And all our Brats, when wanting you:
He. When I am rich with plunder,
        Thou my Gain shalt share, Jug.
She. My Share will be but small, I fear,
        When bold Dragoons have been pickering there,
        And the Flea flints, the Germans strip 'em bare.

He. Mind your Spinning,
                Mend your Linnen;
                Look to your Cheese too,
                Your Piggs and your Geese too:
She. No, no, I'll ramble out with you;
He. Blood and Fire,
                If you tire,
                Thus my Patience,
                With Vexations, and Narrations,
        Thumping, thumping, thumping
                Is the fatal Word, Joan;
She. Do, do, I'm good at thumping too.
He. Morbleau, that Huff shall never do.
