TWANGDILLO.

A New Ballad. The Words made to the Tune of a pretty Country Dance, call'd the Hobby-horse.

Jolly Roger Twangdillo of Plouden Hill,
In his Chest had two thousand good Pounds,
Fat Oxen and Sheep, and a Barn well fill'd,
And a hundred good Acres of Ground;
Which made ev'ry Maiden with Maiden-heads laden,
And Widows, tho' just set free,
To wrangle and fret, and pump up their Wit,
To train to the Net, Twangdillow, Twangdillo,
Twangdillo, Twangdillo, young lusty Twangdillo, Twangdee.
