Where met, they us'd speed,
no time they would waste,
But quickly agreed,
and the Gallant embrac'd:
But their amorous passion had quickly an end,
For spight and ill fortune the Husband did send:
Then let the Town, &c.
Who knocking in hast,
they uncoupl'd with speed,
And the Youth thus uncas'd,
did a hideing place need:
Need teaches discretion, the Oven they find,
Th'out any digression, suit best with their mind:
Then let the Town, &c.
They us'd no delay,
for he quickly creept in,
Where close down he lay,
and she then shut him in:
Then the Baker being entred, cry'd boy come away,
And thus to his wife he began for to say:
Then let the Town, &c.
Od's me I'm afraid
I have o're slipt my hour,
My Customers staid,
and my Yeast will be sour:
Put fire i'th Oven, i'le quickly despatch,
E're that be well heat, i'le have made up my batch:
Then let the Town, &c.
He threw in a Baven,
well lighted and dry,
E're another he had in,
the Bully did cry:
Well sing'd, and thus frighted, the Lover did crawl,
From out of the Oven, and down he did fall:
Then let the Town, &c.
The Baker inraged
at what he had spy'd,
With passion engaged,
and threw fear aside:
He took up a Cudgel and laid on such blows,
He made him run out without money or cloaths:
Then let the Town Bulleys henceforth have a care,
Of a Bakers Revenge, or to deal with his Ware.
