English text

Tom making a Manteau for a lass of pleasure,

Pull'd out his his long and lawful Measure:


But quickly found tho' woundily straight lac'd, Sir,

Nine Inches would not half surround her waist, Sir;


Three inches more, at length brisk Tom advances,

yet all too short to reach her swinging Hances.
