328 Songs Compleat,
One spark of Fire consumes a House,
Small Prison makes one pant ;
The Sword-fish mortifies the Whale,
The Mouse the Elephant
But never did I see that Throat,
Under my Lord-Mayor's roof :
Unless they brought it scalding hot,
That was not Custard proof
Let this a warning be to those,
That go to Isliiigton;
Custard will kill, Experience shows,
As soon as any Gun.
Beware how you on Holidays,
Abroad do Feast your Wives ;
For they that feed on Custard, go
In danger of their Lives.
The EPITAPH.
To the Tune of, Tttrn again
