This, by way of receipt, is a regular jewel;)
To wait, I repeat,
For a robber or cheat,
On a spot he’s supposed to select for his beat,
When said robber wont come’s the reverse of a treat.
So thought the butcher, and so thought the baker,
And so thought the joiner and cabinet-maker,
And so thought all the rest except Jonathan Blaker;
To him catching a thief in the dead of the night
Presented a source of unfailing delight;
