Page 87:-
Thence to Bautree, as I came there,
From the Bushes near the Lane, there
Rush'd a Tweak in Gesture flanting,
With a leering Eye, and wanton:
But my Flesh I did subdue it,
Fearing lest my Purse should rue it.
Thence to * Doncaster, where reported
Lively Levite was departed:
Love I loath'd, and spritely Wine too,
Which I dearly lov'd some time too;
For when youthful Venus ageth,
She my fleshly force asswageth
Thirst knows neither Mean nor Measure,
Robin Hood's Well was my Treasure;
In a common † Dish enchained,
I my furious Thirst restrained;
And because I drank the deeper,
I paid two Farthings to the Keeper.
