<L>and ne'r would do no Evil,</L>
<L>Her hand &s;he in his Pocket thru&s;t,</L>
<L>which was indeed uncivil;</L>
<L><HI>But &s;he got money by't, &s;he got money by't,</HI></L>

<L><HI>She got money by't, &s;he got money by't,</HI></L>

<L>She told him then &s;he was in ha&s;te,</L>
<L>and &s;o from him &s;he parted,</L>
<L>Who little thought to be di&s;grac'd,</L>

<L>The <HI>Barber</HI> was exceeding kind,</L>
<L>and mon&s;trou&s;ly did prai&s;e her,</L>
<L>But he did in conclu&s;ion find</L>
<L>that &s;he had &s;poyl'd his Razor;</L>
<L><HI>But &s;he got money by't, &s;he got money by't,</HI></L>
<L><HI>&s;he got money by'th bargain;</HI></L>
