With the ready trick and fable,
Round we wander all the day ;
And at night, in barn or stable
Hug our doxies on the hay.
A fig, &c.
Docs Che train-attended carriage
Through the country lighter rove i
Does the sober bed of marriage
Witness brighter scenes of love I
A iig, &c.
Life is all a variorum,
We regard not how it goes ;
Let them cant about decorum,
Who have characters to lose.
A fig, &c.
Here's to budgets, bags, and wallets j
Here's to all the wand'ring train j
Mere's our ragged brats and callets !
One and all cry out, Amen !
A fig, &c.
