| | | HER scuttle Hatt is wondrous wide, | |
| All furrie, too, on every side; | |
| Soe out She trippeth daintylie, | |
| To lett ye Youth full well to see | |
| How fayre ye mayde is for ye Bryde. | 5 |
| |
| A lyttle puffed, may be, bye Pryde, | |
| She yet soe lovelye is that I’d | |
| A Shillynge give to tye, perdie, | |
| Her scuttle Hatt. | |
| |
| Ye Coales into ye Scuttle slide, | 10 |
| Soe in her Hatt wolde I, and hide | |
| To steale some Kisses—two or three: | |
| But synce She never asketh me, | |
| Ye scornful Cynick doth deride | |
| Her scuttle Hatt! | 15 | | | |
