Some with only one genus are blest,
But I it appears, had got two,
For when I had drawn off some beer,
I'd a genus for drinking it too :
At last I was drawn up to town,
Without in my pocket afar.dc/z,
But since I've earn'd many a crown.
By the shop here, in sweet Common Garden.
Fal de ral, Sec.
Now the end of my song's drawing near,
I'll tell ye — but that's nothing new,—
Now all my ambition's to try,
And to do, what I can to draw you :
In which, if I do but succeed,
And my efforts beguile you of pain,
I entreat you'll not wait to be ask'd
To come often and see me again.
Fal de ral, &c.

Ned Grogan, dear joy, was the son of his mother,
And as like her it seems, as one pea to another ;
But to find out his dad, he was put to the rout,
As many folks wiser have been, joy, no doubt.
