But Unkindness, Unkindness mars her Beauty, And useless makes that Heav'nly, That Heav'nly, that Heav'nly frame; But Unkindness mars her Beauty, And useless makes that Heav'nly, Heav'nly frame: While she mistakes and calls that Duty, Which ill Nature others name: While she mistakes and calls that Duty, Which ill Nature others name. _The Hopeful Bargain: Or a Fare for a Hackney-Coachman, giving a Comical relation, how an_ Ale-draper _at the Sign of the_ Double-tooth'd Rake _in or near the new_ Palace-yard, Westminster, _Sold his Wife for a Shilling, and how she was sold a Second time for five Shillings to_ JUDGE; _My Lord ---- Coachman, and how her Husband receiv'd her again after she had lain with other Folks three Days and Nights_, &c. _The Tune_ Lilly Bullero. [Music] There lives an Ale-draper near _New-palace-yard_, Who used to Jerk the Bum of his Wife; And she was forced to stand on her Guard, To keep his Clutches from her Quoiff: She poor Soul the weaker Vessel, To be reconcil'd was easily won; He held her in scorn, But she Crown'd him with Horn, _Without Hood or Scarff, and rough as she run._ He for a Shilling sold his Spouse, And she was very willing to go; And left the poor Cuckold alone in the House, That he by himself his Horn might blow: A Hackney Coachman he did buy her, And was not this a very good Fun; With a dirty Pinner, As I am a Sinner, _Without Hood or Scarff, but rough as she run._ The Woman gladly did depart, Between three Men was handed away; He for her Husband did care not a Fart, He kept her one whole Night and Day: Then honest _Judge_ the Coachman bought her, And was not this most cunningly done? Gave for her five Shilling, To take her was willing, _Without Hood or Scarff_, &c. The Cuckold to _Judge_, a Letter did send, Wherein he did most humbly crave; Quoth he, I prithee, my Rival Friend, My Spouse again I fain would have: And if you will but let me have her, I'll pardon what she e'er has done; I swear by my Maker, Again I will take her, _Without Hood and Scarff_, &c. He sent an old Baud to interceed, And to perswade her to come back; That he might have one of her delicate breed, And he would give her a ha'p'uth of Sack: Therefore prithee now come to me, Or else poor I shall be undone: Then do not forgo me, But prithee come to me, _Without Hood or Scarff, tho' rough_, &c. The Coachman then with much ado, Did suffer the Baud to take her out; Upon the Condition that she would be true, And let him have now and then a Bout: But he took from her forty Shillings, And gave her a parting Glass at the _Sun_; And then with good buyt' ye, Discharged his Duty, _And turn'd her a grazing, rough as she run._
