A pot of good ale good wine or a fire,
You shall haue any thing you can desire.
Your trades to luske (you Iade) about the Innes,
To see what country wenches come to towne.
To seeke for seruice then this witch begins,
To speake them faire: I pray sweet hart sit downe,
Y'are weary I woosse what doe yee want a seruice,
Ile helpe you to a very gallaint mistres.

She bids her drinke then with a Crafty fetch,
The gallant mistris wich she doth prouide,
Tis Meg was carted at Alhallantide.

But she is mad as bold as any other:
A shame-lesse strumpet and an arraunt whore,
One that will cut the throat of her owne brother,
Old Iade Ile whip thee soundly th'art th'vndoing,
Of many maides and Comely proper women.
