The Taunton maids delight, or, hey for the honest woosted-comber. In Taunton town a maid doth dwell, who loves a woosted-comber very well, in the praise of him she doth declare, no other tradesman can with him compare. All sweethearts that doth come she does refuse, only a woosted-comber she doth chuse, to him she wisheth good prosperity, for 'tis a comber must her husband be. The tune is, I have a good old mother at home, etc. T. L.
