UPON THEIR RIDING THE CIRCUIT	A
	-
	-
Now the active young attorneys	B
Briskly travel on their journeys	B
Looking big as any giants	C
On the horses of their clients	C
Like so many little Marses	C
With their tilters at their a s	C
Brazen hilted lately burnish'd	D
And with harness buckles furnish'd	D
And with whips and spurs so neat	E
And with jockey coats complete	E
And with boots so very greasy	C
And with saddles eke so easy	C
And with bridles fine and gay	F
Bridles borrow'd for a day	F
Bridles destined far to roam	G
Ah never never to come home	G
And with hats so very big sir	H
And with powder'd caps and wigs sir	H
And with ruffles to be shown	I
Cambric ruffles not their own	I
And with Holland shirts so white	J
Shirts becoming to the sight	J
Shirts bewrought with different letters	C
As belonging to their betters	C
With their pretty tinsel'd boxes	C
Gotten from their dainty doxies	C
And with rings so very trim	K
Lately taken out of lim	K
And with very little pence	C
And as very little sense	C
With some law but little justice	C
Having stolen from my hostess	C
From the barber and the cutler	H
Like the soldier from the sutler	H
From the vintner and the tailor	H
Like the felon from the jailor	H
Into this and t'other county	C
Living on the public bounty	C
Thorough town and thorough village	L
All to plunder all to pillage	M
Thorough mountains thorough valleys	C
Thorough stinking lanes and alleys	C
Some to kiss with farmers' spouses	C
And make merry in their houses	C
Some to tumble country wenches	C
On their rushy beds and benches	C
And if they begin a fray	H
Draw their swords and run away	H
All to murder equity	C
And to take a double fee	C
Till the people are all quiet	A
And forget to broil and riot	A
Low in pocket cow'd in courage	L
Safely glad to sup their porridge	L
And vacation's over then	N
Hey for London town again	N
