(Spoken:) Maid Mary having broke the handle of her hair broom and hearing that (Manservant John) had a long stick that would fit it, desired him to put it in for her. :1. My man John had a thing that was long, :My maid Mary had a thing that was hairy, :My man John put his thing that was long, :Into my maid Mary's thing that was hairy. :2. My maid Mary then stirr'd it about, :till with stirring and stirring at length it came out, :but then my man John, thrust it in once again, :and knock'd it most stoutly to make it remain. :3. But John with much knocking so widen'd the hole, :that his long thing slip'd out still in spight of his soul, :till weary'd and vex'd and with knocking grown sore, :cry'd a Pox take the Hole for I'll knock it no more.
