Itâs of a bold astrologer in London town did dwell,
â¨At telling maidens fortunes, thereâs none could him excel.â¨
There was a nice young serving girl, living there close by,
â¨She came one day to the astrologer just to have a try.
I hear that you tell fortunes sir, would you tell me mine said she.â¨
Of course my dear without a doubt, if youâll walk upstairs with me.â¨
To walk upstairs with you kind sir, Iâm sure I am afraid.â¨
She spoke it with such modesty, as though she were a maid.
To walk upstairs with me my dear you need not be afraid,â¨
Knowing it was but the other day you with your master laid,â¨
Then she starts to curse and swear, she would her master bring,â¨
As witness for both him and hear that it was no such thing.â¨
My pretty maid donât swear and curse, youâll make the deed the worse,â¨For the crown piece that he gave to you, youâve got it in your purse.â¨
Oh indeed you can tell fortunes sir, youâve told me mine said she,â¨
And out she pulled the crown piece, good morning sir said she.â¨
