5. The bulk I know he slangs you too, Which I allow?s foul play; But they are often deeper hands, So you must not gainsay.

6. The cull likewise is sometimes down, Nay, often is the case, That you are in a horse pond dipp?d, Or ding?d in some nasty place.

7. But if the Cull should hobble you, Before the beak you take; Your mittimus will then be made To th? keeper of Newgate.

8. When to that place you do come in, Your garnish you must pay; And then, my lads, you must be in Until the sessions day.

9. Before the Patter it comes on, You gammer what you?ll say; But when the judge is trying you, You?ll wish yourself away.

10. The prosecutor raps it hard, You ?re lagg?d for seven years; And when you take leave of your friends, You can?t help shedding tears.

11. A ken-cracking there?s others go, And get many a pound; But when to th' Patter they do come, For the cross they?re knock?d down.

12. Those youths that venture on the scamp, You?ll say are much to blame; But since they all do respites get, Makes more follow the same.

13. As they are only to be lagg?d, They to Virginia go; And when they do land on that shore, They there tobacco hoe.

14. In America friends are scarce, Of foes you?ll have your share; The negroes they are better us?d, Which I say is not fair.

15. Up in the morning you must get By th? rising of the fun; And work until it sets at night, Which is indiff?rent fun.

16. Instead of having wholesome food, You?re fed on Indian corn; And when too late, I know you?ll with You never had been born.

17. One shirt a year you are allow?d, As coarse as is a sack; Before you?ve worn it many days, 'Twill draw skin from your back.

18. But as for shoes and stockings, lads, You seldom do them wear; But go barefoot, all in the heat, Full eight months in the year.

19. Instead of dorsing with your cow, You in an out-house lay; You may sleep found by working hard But rise by break of day.

20. When you are lab?ring in the fun, You will your fate lament; And wish you?d took your friends advice, And ne?er a thieving went.

21. Your fate you?ll think is very hard, And so ?twill be indeed; Before your time it is expir?d, ?Twill cause your heart to bleed.

22. You?ll wish that you had wiser been, Your parents counsel took; You?d not have kept bad company, But wicked ways forsook.

23. But if that you should be so deep, To mizzle from that place; You can?t help coming to your Polls To shew your silly face.

24. If that in England you are seen, Before your time is out; You?re sentenc?d then to Newgate cells, Your candle there to doubt.

25. Let sharps likewise attention give, Who do the readers spin; And seldom meets a country flat, But what they take him in.

26. Sometimes I know they are so poor, A bone they clean could pick; But when a mouth falls in their way, They sack his Stephen?s trick.

27. Some do in fighting take delight, But are often at a loss; For you seldom see a bruising But what is on the cross.

28. Those that in the death-warrant are Condemned for to die; Full twenty-two hours in the cells Every day must lie.

29 The morning we to suffer are, You?ll say?s a shocking fight; That youths who are just in their prime, Will soon be shut from light.
