Then, my blades, when you're bush'd, and must have the swag, [10]

Walk into tattlers, shiners, and never fear the lag; [11]

JACK FLASHMAN[Notes]

[1842]

[By PIERCE EGAN in _Captain Macheath_].

I

Jack Flashman was a prig so bold, Who sighed for nothen but the gold; For sounding, frisking any clie, [1]

Jack was the lad, and never shy.

Fol, de, rol.

II

Jack long was on the town, a teazer; [2]

A spicy blade for wedge or sneezer; [3]

Could turn his fives to anything [4]

Nap a reader, or filch a ring. [5]

Fol, de, rol.

III

Jack was all game, and never slack, [6]

In the darky tried the crack; [7]

Frisk'd the lobby and the swag; "I'm fly to every move," his brag. [8]

Fol, de, rol.

IV

But Jack, at last, got too knowen-- Was made a flat by his blowen! [9]

She peached, so got him into trouble. [10]

And then, tipp'd poor Jack the double! [11]

Fol, de, rol.

V

Jack left the jug right mer-ri-ly, [12]

And vent and black'd his doxy's eye! [13]

Saying--look, marm, when next you split, I'll finish you with a rummy hit!

Fol, de, rol.

VI

My blades, before my chaunt I end, [14]

Here the rag-sauce of a friend; [15]

Ne'er trust to any fancy jade, For all their chaff is only trade!

Fol, de, rol.

VII

Let all their gammon be resisted; Vithout you vishes to get twisted! [16]

And never nose upon yourself-- [17]

You then are sure to keep your pelf.

Fol, de, riddle.
