Since I was here last Easter;

I broke his Head with the Pewter Pot,

And gave him not a Teaster.

But why, d’ye think, I serv’d him so?

I’d call’d a dozen Times, I trow,

Yet the Dog would bring no Claret.

This Discipline was not in vain,

For h’as his Manners mended;

I’ve been here twenty Times since then,
