It's of a bold astrologer in London town did dwell | |
At telling maidens fortunes there's none could him excell | |
There was a nice young serving girl a-living there close by | |
She went one day to the astrologer all for to have a try | |
"I hear that you tell fortunes sir would you tell me mine?" said she | |
"Of course my dear without a doubt if you'll come upstairs with me" | |
"To come upstairs with you kind sir I fear I am afraid" | |
She spoke it in such modesty as if she was a maid | |
"To come upstairs with me my dear you need not be afraid | |
Knowing it was but the other day you with your master laid" | |
Then she began to curse and swear she would her master bring | |
As witness for both him and her that it was no such thing | |
"My pretty maid don't swear and curse you'll make the deed the worse | |
For the crown piece that he gave to you you've got it in your purse" | |
"Oh indeed you can tell fortunes sir you've told me mine" said she | |
Then out she pulled the crown piece "good morning sir" said she |
