“Since the lady begs it of us,
And as we ar’ galiant fellers,
We will smash the tail of Jestis,
And will spare this orful miscrint,
Ef you’ll raise a hundred dollars
To replace the vanished mewel.
Then this fiend, unwhipped, undamaged,
May go wanderin’ to thunder,
Soon as he darnation pleases,
Ere the starry night comes on.”
