THE RUM-MORT'S PRAISE OF HER FAITHLESS MAUNDER [Notes]

[1707]

[From _The Triumph of Wit_, by J. Shirley: also in _New Canting Dict._].

I

Now my kinching-cove is gone, [1]

By the rum-pad maundeth none, [2]

Quarrons both for stump and bone, [3]

Like my clapperdogeon. [4]

II

Dimber damber fare thee well, [5]

Palliards all thou didst excel, [6]

And thy jock.u.m bore the Bell, [7]

Glimmer on it never fell. [8]

III

Thou the cramprings ne'er did scowre, [9]

Harmans had on thee no power, [10]

Harmanbecks did never toure;[11]

For thee, the drawers still had loure. [12]

IV

Duds and cheats thou oft hast won, [13]

Yet the cuffin quire couldst shun; [14]

And the deuseaville didst run, [15]

Else the chates had thee undone. [16]

V

Crank and dommerar thou couldst play, [17]

Or rum-maunder in one day, And like an Abram-cove couldst pray, Yet pa.s.s with gybes well jerk'd away.

VI

When the darkmans have been wet, [18]

Thou the crackmans down didst beat [19]

For glimmer, whilst a quaking cheat, [20]

Or tib-o'-th'-b.u.t.try was our meat. [21]

VII

Red shanks then I could not lack, [22]

Ruff peck still hung on my Back, [23]

Grannam ever fill'd my sack [24]

With lap and poplars held I tack. [25]

VIII

To thy bugher and thy skew, [26]

Filch and gybes I bid adieu, [27]

Though thy togeman was not new, [28]

In it the rogue to me was true.
