His Man (constrain'd) prime Cellers Vault disclos'd
In Uncle's Lodg, whose entrance so compos'd.
With that Nice, curious Art 'twas admirable;
Midst of that Wood; Who, when more wealthy, able,
Kept Inn i'th' Royal Town, had harbour'd long
Those Thieves, their Horses too, as Sharer strong
In their Exploits, till broke, to th' Lodg retir'd:
Those turn'd Foot-rogues withal, when Case requir'd,
Done Robberty
fled to that Celler-vault,
Th' Host partner still: there they might Lurk uncaught
That Night, next day, till flow Pursuit appear'd;
Then flinking March abroad, small Danger fear'd
To Corinth-Realm, with Kimfman there remain,
Till Pardon's grant Duke, Dutchess could obtain.
