    A rosin candle shows bad night...

    (continued from previous page)
    Jack Downy's thinks he's very wise
    Fools and children like to fight
    Murry thinks he has got a prize
    But hereafters not come yet
    Billy Gavan loves a glass
    I might say three or four
    'Tis wrong to call a man an ass
    No matter how he'd roar.
    Peggy Breakey loves a ball
    Dancing cheers her when she's sad.
    The Corporal warns the people all
    And that's the thing that sets mad.
    He that's blind need buy no specks;
    He that's lame is apt to limp;
    Merry man says what he likes,
    We know that Tim's a dreadful imp.
    (* Ned Dandy was very fond of licking his lips.).
