The day being come, ſhe muſt appear,
Before the Judge, as you ſhall hear,
It put the Mifer in ſurpriſe,
He mardly could believe his eyes.
O rare Mally Dyver! &c.

She ſays, Kind Sir, you are to blame,
For ſcandalizing of my name;
I never ſaw you in my life
I neither am your whore nor wife.
O rare Mally Dyver! &c.

The Lawyer boldly pled her cauſe,
And ſaid, According to our Laws,
Five pounds each hour ſhe muſt reccive,
Which ſum to her he quickly gave.
O rare Mally Dyver! &c.

Young Mally hearing of this thing,
O'er a full bowl began to ſing!
Saying, If I live to ſeventy-three,
What a rich old woman I ſhall be.
O rare Mally Dyver! &c.

Altho' my mother loſt her life,
For cockling of an Earl's wife,
Yet Mally and her ſporting maids,
Good Iriſh have for Engliſh blads,
O rare Mally Dyver!
O rare Mally O.
