Musa Pedestris - Three Centuries of Canting Songs and Slang Rhymes [1536 - 1896]

by John Stephen Farmer

There is a nook in the boozing ken, [1]
Where many a mug I fog, [2]
And the smoke curls gently, while cousin Ben
Keeps filling the pots again and again,
If the coves have stump'd their hog. [3]
