Hi,

TY Steve- It's close enough that I'd say it's an early version. That takes the date back to 1725. I'll also credit Ben Schwartz.

I have three Roud numbers, also Roud 402 which may have been the original number. A dozen or so are under 402. Yes, and the other two are mixed together a little but only two are wrong in 22620 (51 listings). Here are two more broadsides, I've included the end text on the first. Need date on first.

1. Drowsy Sleeper
J. Cadman, Printer Manchester

Daughter, daughter, I'll confine you,
All within your private room,
And you shall live on bread and water,
once a day at noon.

No, I'll have none of your bread and water,
. . .
