That illustrious scion,

And Oxley the butcher, and Doughy the baker,

And Chisel the joiner and cabinet-maker,

And good farmer Dacre,

Who holds many an acre,

And, insuper omnes, bold Jonathan Blaker,

The famous thief-taker,

Who’s been sent for from town as being more wide awaker,

(Excuse that comparative, sure ’tis no crime

To sacrifice grammar to such a nice rhyme,)
