1 TV /T Y Maisters all attend you, IV A if mirth you loue to heare: And I will tell you what they cry,
in London all the yeare. He please you if I can,
I will not be too long, I pray you all attend a while,
and lissen to my song.
2 The fish-wife first begins,
nye1 Musckles lylly white: Hearings, Sprats, or Pleace,
or Cockles for delight. Nye1 welflet Oysters:
then she doth change her note, She had need to hane her tongue by grease2
for she rattles in the throat.
3 For why they are but Kentish,
to tell you out of doubt: Her measure is to little,
go beate the bottom out. Halfe a Pecke for two pence,
I doubt it is a bodge, Thus all the citty ouer,
the people they do dodge.
