One hatter, one painter, one printer, one Howard;
Tom and John the surveyors, fond of all things good;
The important ex-Mayor, and the little Ned Wood,
Tom Smart the butcher, and the millionaire Guest,
Fourteen agents (two ticketless) make up the rest:
Numbering one hundred and twenty and nine,
And all pleased with their excellent dinner and wine.
The cloth was drawn, and the plate went round,
And in lieu of two tickets two guineas were found:
The shorthands were call’d from the taproom below,
