  1. (continued from previous page)
    pay and a half a crown I did lay down to him for his day's pay.
    It was then I had my Joker and my son he rode him home and his yellow thigh was galded high upon her old backbone.
    It was early next morning as day light did appear.
    My son and her they did prepare and to Buttlersbridge did steer.
    He made sale of his dry deal
    Left in his daily store, and from that day until this we ne'er felt hunger more.
    The Jloggerer got loan of her and for her he did not care
    Which leaves me and my sons in poverty, starvation and dispair.
