FRISKY MOLL'S SONG
[1724]

[By J. HARPER, and sung by Frisky Moll in JOHN THURMOND'S _Harlequin
Sheppard_ produced at Drury Lane Theatre].

I

From priggs that snaffle the prancers strong, [1]
To you of the _Peter_ Lay, [2]
I pray now listen a while to my song,
How my _Boman_ he kick'd away. [3]

II

He broke thro' all rubbs in the whitt, [4]
And chiv'd his darbies in twain; [5]
But fileing of a rumbo ken, [6]
My _Boman_ is snabbled again. [7]

III

I _Frisky Moll_, with my rum coll, [8]
Wou'd Grub in a bowzing ken; [9]
But ere for the scran he had tipt the cole, [10]
The _Harman_ he came in. [11]

IV

A famble, a tattle, and two popps, [12]
