Like my clapperdogeon. [4]
II Dimber damber fare thee well, [5] Palliards all thou didst excel, [6] And thy jockum bore the Bell, [7] Glimmer on it never fell. [8] III Thou the cramprings ne'er did scowre, [9] Harmans had on thee no power, [10] Harmanbecks did never toure; [11] For thee, the drawers still had loure. [12] IV Duds and cheats thou oft hast won, [13] Yet the cuffin quire couldst shun; [14] And the deuseaville didst run, [15] Else the chates had thee undone. [16] V Crank and dommerar thou couldst play, [17] Or rum-maunder in one day, And like an Abram-cove couldst pray, Yet pass with gybes well jerk'd away. |
