<L>To meet with young <HI>Iockey,</HI> a bonny bri&s;k Scot</L>
<L>Then <HI>Iockey</HI> was jolly, and thus he did &s;ay,</L>
<L>Let's gang to the Tavern, drink Wine by my fay,</L>
<L>Then <HI>Shonny</HI> con&s;ented, and made no delay,</L>
<L>But <HI>Iockey</HI> left <HI>Shonny</HI> the Reckoning to pay.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>While <HI>Morgan</HI> was Merry, and thinking no ill,</L>
<L>The <HI>Scotch-man</HI> he u&s;ed the be&s;t of his Skill,</L>
<L>Con&s;idering how he might Scamper away,</L>
<L>For why Sir, he never intended to pay</L>
<L>But like a fal&s;e Loon he &s;lipt out of door</L>
<L>And never intended to come there no more,</L>
<L>Poor <HI>Shonny-a-Morgan</HI> was left for the Score</L>
<L>Cotzo her was never &s;o &s;erved before.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Her paying the Shot, then away her went,</L>
<L>The <HI>Welch</HI> Blood was up, and her mind was Bent</L>
<L>For &s;peedy pur&s;uing he then did prepare,</L>
<L>Then <HI>Morgan</HI> did mount upon <HI>Bob</HI> the Gray Mare</L>
<L>Then Whip and Spur &s;tout <HI>Shonny</HI> did ride,</L>
<L>And overtook <HI>Iockey</HI> near to a Wood-&s;ide,</L>
<L>And pull'd out her Sword in the height of her Pride.</L>
<L>And wounded poor <HI>Iockey,</HI> who pre&s;ently dy'd.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then <HI>Shonny</HI> was taken and hurry'd to Iail,</L>
<L>Where her till the Se&s;&s;ions did weep and bewail;</L>
<L>And then at the la&s;t, by the Laws of the Land,</L>
<L>Was brought to the Bar to hold up her hand;</L>
<L>O good her Lord Shudge, poor <HI>Shonny</HI> did cry,</L>
<L>Now Whip her, and &s;end her to <HI>Wales</HI> her Country;</L>
<L>Or cut off a Leg, or an Arm, or an Eye,</L>
<L>For her is undone if Condemned to dye.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But this would not do, poor <HI>Shonny</HI> was Ca&s;t,</L>
<L>And likewi&s;e received her Sentence at la&s;t;</L>
<L>A Gentleman Robber ju&s;t at the &s;ame time,</L>
<L>Received ju&s;t Sentence then due for his Crime:</L>
<L>Then <HI>Shonny-a-Morgan</HI> her &s;hed many tears,</L>
<L>Her heart was po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ed with &s;orrow and fears,</L>
<L>The Gentleman Thief likewi&s;e hung down his ears</L>
<L>For then he expected his antient Arrears.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The day being come they mu&s;t both did adieu,</L>
<L>For&s;aking the world and the re&s;t of their Crew;</L>
<L>The Spark was attir'd &s;o gallant and gay,</L>
<L>But <HI>Shonny</HI> was poor, and in ragged array:</L>
<L>Then when they came both to the Gibbet Tree,</L>
<L>The Gentleman gave to the Hang-man a Fee,</L>
<L>And &s;aid, let this <HI>Welch-man</HI> Hang farther from me,</L>
<L>So vile and &s;o ragged a Ra&s;cal is he.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The <HI>Welch-man</HI> he heard him, and was in a rage,</L>
<L>That nothing almo&s;t could his anger a&s;&s;wage;</L>
<L>But fretting and chaffing, he thus did begin,</L>
<L>Her will make her to know that her came of good kin</L>
<L>Be&s;ides, her will tell her her hearty belief,</L>
<L>That her is no more then a Gentleman Thief,</L>
<L>That robb'd on the Roads, &amp; the Plain, &amp; the Heath</L>
<L>Her now will Hang by her in &s;pight of her teeth.</L>
