Or if a Thrummer, you’ve an even chance—

A hungry Bung will often come at that.

And, ah! see yonder open tap-room Door—

If Fate be kind, old chap! maybe you’ll score;

And if a foaming Pot materialise,

Soak up the Juice, and boldly ask for more.

Myself, when young, did eagerly frequent

Shanty and Pub, on gratis Beer intent;

But I (unlucky wayfarer) was oft

Shot out by the same Door that in I went.
