Song 175. I Went to the Alehouse as an honest woman shoo'd, And a Knave follow'd after, as you know Knaves woo'd Knaves will be Kanves in every degree I'le tell you by and by, who this Knave serv'd me. I call'd for my pot as a honest woman shoo'd, And the Knave drank it up, as you know Kaves woo'd, Knaves will be Knaves, &c. I went into my bed as an honest woman shoo'd, And the Knave crept into't, as you Knaves woo'd, Knaves will be Knaves, &c. I prov'd with Childe as an honest woman shoo'd, And the Knave rany away, as you know Knaves woo'd, Knaves will be Knaves in every degree, And thus have I told you how this Knave serv'd me. 1671.
