Young John the Gard'ner having lately got, a very Rich & fertile Garden Plot; bragging to Joan, quoth he, so rich a Ground for Melons, cannot in the World be found: That's a damn'd lye, quoth Joan, for I can tell, a place yt does your Garden far excell; Where's that? says John; In mine arse quoth Joan, for there is store of Dung and Water all the Year.
