Now John by Teague was safely stow’d on Board,
And Teague got staggering drunk to keep his word.
Next morn by times, to Johnny’s great surprize,
Teague had a broken Nose, and two Black Eyes.
Teague thought by some excuse to make amends—
‘I tuck a Drink, your Honour, with some Friends.’
‘With Friends,’ said John, ‘no, Teague, you mean your Foes;
‘The Devil’s in’t, if Friends would break your Nose.’
‘Ah no, your Honour,’ says Teague, ‘’twas Friends for sartin—
‘We drank like Friends, but had a fight at parting.’
