    Onery twory trickery Davy,
    Olivery Slatery, Henry Leary.
    Hixham. Dixham very good boy.
    Humber bumbur forty five.
    I slept last night & the night before
    And two wild cats came knocking at my door
    I opened the door & let them in
    And there they danced thy Highland Fling
    Wee Willie Winkle running through the town
    Upstairs and downstairs in his night gown,
    Rapping at the windows, crying through the lock
    Are the children in their beds for it is now 10 o'clock.
