And L were the Lies which about it were stated. Fol de rol lol, &c. M was a muscle--cold, flabby, and red; And N was a Nerve, like a bit of white thread. O was some Opium, a fool chose to take; And P were the Pins used to keep him awake. Fol de rol lol, &c. Q were the Quacks, who cure stammer and squint, R was a Raw from a burn, wrapp'd in lint. S was a Scalpel, to eat bread and cheese; And T was a Tourniquet, vessels to squeeze. Fol de rol lol, &c. U was the Unciform bone of the wrist. V was the Vein which a blunt lancet miss'd. W was Wax, from a syringe that flow'd. X, the Xaminers, who may be blow'd! Fol de rol lol, &c. Y stands for You all, with best wishes sincere; And Z for the Zanies who never touch beer.
