    (continued from previous page)
    Mr Katin, an' I'm told you're very funny.
    When my wife goes up you upbraid her about the money.
    I've dealt in many shops likewise with Mr Mackey
    And never was refused tay, sugar or tobaccy
    So give her what she wants, and depend upon her honour
    Since she joined the royal race and wed the great O'Connor.
