I brought thee a coat—such a vestment!

'Twas newly constructed by Poole;

I've found it a losing investment

Oh! how could I be such a fool?

I told thee I hadn't a "stiver;"

I said I'd been "cutting it fat,"

And coolly demanded a "fiver,"—

How thou must have chuckled at that!

Thou wee can'st remember the morning

Succeeding thy Sabbath, thou Jew!
