Give her cold jelly To take up her belly, And once a day swinge her again, If she stand all these pains, Then knock out her brains, Her disease no longer will reign._ _1 Bo._ More excellent, more excellent, sweet Sow-gelder. _2 Bo._ Three-pence a piece, three-pence a piece. _Hig._ Will you hear a Song how the Devil was gelded? _3 Bo._ I, I, let's hear the Devil roar, Sow-gelder. SONG. 1. _He ran at me first in the shape of a Ram, And over and over the Sow-Gelder came; I rise and I halter'd him fast by the horn, I pluckt out his Stones as you'd pick out a Corn. Baa, quoth the Devil, and forth he slunk, And left us a Carcase of Mutton that stunk. 2. The next time I rode a good mile and a half, Where I heard he did live in disguise of a Calf, I bound and I gelt him, ere he did any evil; He was here at his best, but a sucking Devil. Maa, yet he cry'd, and forth he did steal, And this was sold after, for excellent Veal. 3. Some half a year after in the form of a Pig, I met with the Rogue, and he look'd very big; I catch'd at his leg, laid him down on a log, Ere a man could fart twice, I had made him a Hog.

B._ There, there. _Prig._ I thank you, Thank ye heartily: when shall I pay ye? _All B._ Ha, ha, ha, by th' Mass this was a fine trick. _Prig._ A merry sleight toy: but now I'll show your Worships A trick indeed. _Hig._ Mark him well now my Masters. _Prig._ Here are three balls, These balls shall be three bullets, One, two, and three: _ascentibus, malentibus_. _Presto_, be gone: they are vanish'd: fair play, Gentlemen. Now these three, like three Bullets, from your three Noses Will I pluck presently: fear not, no harm Boys, _Titere, tu patule._ _1 B._ Oh, oh, oh. _Prig._ _Recubans sub jermlne fagi._ _2 B._ Ye pull too hard; ye pull too hard. _Prig._ Stand fair then: _Silvertramtrim-tr
