(Spoken:) Maid Mary having broke the handle of her hair broom and hearing that (Manservant John) had a long stick that would fit it, desired him to put it in for her.
- 1. My man John had a thing that was long,
- My maid Mary had a thing that was hairy,
- My man John put his thing that was long,
- Into my maid Mary's thing that was hairy.
- 2. My maid Mary then stirr'd it about,
- till with stirring and stirring at length it came out,
- but then my man John, thrust it in once again,
- and knock'd it most stoutly to make it remain.
- 3. But John with much knocking so widen'd the hole,
- that his long thing slip'd out still in spight of his soul,
- till weary'd and vex'd and with knocking grown sore,
- cry'd a Pox take the Hole for I'll knock it no more.
