Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFCEGHIIJIKK LLMMMMNNOOOMMPP| WELL having stoop'd to conquer with success | A |
| And gain'd a husband without aid from dress | A |
| Still as a Bar maid I could wish it too | B |
| As I have conquer'd him to conquer you | B |
| And let me say for all your resolution | C |
| That pretty Bar maids have done execution | C |
| Our life is all a play compos'd to please | D |
| 'We have our exits and our entrances ' | E |
| The First Act shows the simple country maid | F |
| Harmless and young of ev'ry thing afraid | F |
| Blushes when hir'd and with unmeaning action | C |
| 'I hopes as how to give you satisfaction ' | E |
| Her Second Act displays a livelier scene | G |
| Th' unblushing Bar maid of a country inn | H |
| Who whisks about the house at market caters | I |
| Talks loud coquets the guests and scolds the waiters | I |
| Next the scene shifts to town and there she soars | J |
| The chop house toast of ogling connoisseurs | I |
| On 'Squires and Cits she there displays her arts | K |
| And on the gridiron broils her lovers' hearts | K |
| And as she smiles her triumphs to complete | L |
| Even Common Councilmen forget to eat | L |
| The Fourth Act shows her wedded to the 'Squire | M |
| And Madam now begins to hold it higher | M |
| Pretends to taste at Operas cries 'caro' | M |
| And quits her 'Nancy Dawson' for 'Che faro' | M |
| Doats upon dancing and in all her pride | N |
| Swims round the room the Heinel of Cheapside | N |
| Ogles and leers with artificial skill | O |
| 'Till having lost in age the power to kill | O |
| She sits all night at cards and ogles at spadille | O |
| Such through our lives the eventful history | M |
| The Fifth and Last Act still remains for me | M |
| The Bar maid now for your protection prays | P |
| Turns Female Barrister and pleads for Bayes | P |
