by Luffman Atterbury . A Catch for Three voices , in G major

Text:

Don’t you know the wife of honest Jack?
she has got a hump upon her back,
and though she has neither shape nor grace,
she dearly loves to dress in silks and lace,
how strange so e’er it may seem to you,
upon my word, ’tis very true.
